Payne County Youth Services will host the first PCYS Poetry Slam in the Park on Saturday, October 17th from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Couch Park in Stillwater. Slam is a forum for sharing poetry that allows participants the excitement of friendly competition while sharing their art and ideas with a live audience. PCYS will present a traditional format for the slam in which performances are limited to three minutes each, performers present only their original work, and five random audience members are selected to score each presentation. The winner of the PCYS Poetry Slam in the Park will have the honor and privilege to MC the next slam. To reserve a spot on stage, email kims@pcys.org or call 405.377.3380. Walk-ups are welcome as time permits. Details and official rules can be found on the Facebook event page, at pcys.org, or by calling the office. This event will follow all local and CDC guidelines and will be live-streaming on Facebook.
