We write to let InMaricopa.com know that the Maricopa ARTS Council K-8 Poetry Slam announced for this Friday evening at Global Water (Nov. 13) will be postponed until spring 2016. At that time there will be a two-part Poetry Slam, with entries available in two
categories: poets within K-8 age-group, and High School age poets.
The postponement is due to a lower-than-anticipated response rate.
MAC did receive several excellent submissions, but not enough for an effective event.
MAC is appreciative of the creative efforts of the students who did submit poems in 2015, and will hold these for re-submission for the spring 2016 dual Slams.
MAC thanks Global Water for their gracious offer to hold the fall 2015 Poetry Slam at its facility, and looks forward to having the 2016 dual Poetry Slams at Global Water, as was originally planned.
Details of the upcoming two Slams will be announced early in the new year.
