Poetry & Art: Poetry International
Poetry & Art Series 2015 presents SDSU’s Poetry International. People’s Choice Poem Awards follow the performances.
This interactive arts and culture experience includes wine and snacks and plenty of time to mingle. Poetry International is an annual literary journal published by SDSU with Ilya Kaminsky as editor-in-chief. SDSU’s MFA program is celebrating its 25th year. Alumni and current scholars will read from their original work at Poetry & Art.
The People’s Choice Poem Performance Award: All participants read/perform one poem under three minutes long. Audience members choose (by secret ballot) their favorite poem based on content and performance. Props, artwork, singing, music, dancing -- all accompaniment is allowed, and anything goes. Top poem performances (the poems that receive the most votes) win $50. Music by DJ Barry Thomas. Info: 619-957-3264 (cell) or 619-236-0011 (museum).
