To participate in the slam, submit a print and video version of original poetry no more than five minutes long to HomecomingSlam@gmail.com by September 21, 2015. Entries will be judged on their poetic effects, compelling content, and performance.
Last year, the atrium was packed and the seats were filled for good food, good poetry, and good conversation. So come join us for what will prove another exciting event sponsored by the English Department, UMBC's creative arts journal Bartleby, and the UMBC Homecoming Committee.
