Poetry Slam with Bobby Miller

Coming with serious poetry slam roots from NYC, now Berkshire resident Bobby Miller kicks off his Poetry Slam Night at CPC. Poets of all stripes are encouraged to PERFORM their original poetry in front of an audience-selected jury in a fun-filled evening of flavorful words. This event is for poets and listeners alike. Come and have fun with us!

Prospective participating poets will be asked to put their names in a hat on arrival at CPC starting at 6:30 pm. The event will start promptly at 7:00. Participants will be RANDOMLY selected throughout the event. Depending on the number of participants, there is no guarantee that every applicant will be selected. Rules and time limits will be announced at the top of the event by Bobby Miller. Have questions? Reach out to Bobby using the contact info provided above .

The competitive design of poetry slams is designed to be fun and supportive of all poets. That said, the audience is encouraged to be appropriately vocal, expressive, and raucous. And, as  Bobby Miller says, “the winner is often the loser.”

This event will include a cash prize and a mystery basket.
