Tonight, Tulsa hosts the largest poetry fest/slam in the world, plus the state premier of the documentary film on the Chicago fest. Yes, really! The founder of the Chicago fest, the filmmaker and one of the poets in the film have come to preside over our competition, which includes four Tulsa Public Schools to begin this year: McLain, Edison, Booker T Washington and Central High Schools. Both events encourage creativity, youth empowerment, education and community building. Today's events begin with a screening of the documentary for high school students in the Perkins auditorium at OU-Tulsa; later (see below), the film's producer and event co-founder will host a Q&A and a screening of the film, same place. The events are free and open to the public, but RSVP is recommended. Call 918-660-3306.
