The Seventeen Syllable Slam is a literary comedy poetry competition where poets attempt to win over judges with their short poems. Each poem needs to have seventeen syllables or less (sort of like a haiku) and there will be sixteen poets in the competition, with the top four taking home cash prizes.
Memory, imagination, & the pull of place converge in this reading from Aaron Cully Drake, Dennis E. Bolen, & Heather Ramsay. Moving through physical & emotional landscapes both these writers explore longing, transformation, wilderness, and the quiet strangeness of everyday life with Leanne Boschman
