April is National Poetry Month. Of course, for the City Wide Under-21 Poetry Slam, every month is poetry month. For the third year in a row the Austin International Poetry Festival, well into its second decade, highlights youth poets through the City Wide Under-21 Poetry Slam Showcase. Having competed against each other all season, this year we are going to put the competition aside and allow the youth to demonstrate their creative abilities without the pressure of judges, rules, or scores. The youth will be free to try out new poems, group poems, and poems on which they might not take a chance in competition or to tune up for the City Wide Slam Off Finals in May.
Austin, we invite you to come see the following potential team members for the 2008 Austin Under-21 Poetry Slam Team strut their stuff:
Telvi Altamirano Brent Caballero Nicholas Cruz Jacob Dickson Haley Haradon Shay Harris Brandon Harrison Cora Lee Kara Miller Margaret Olson Jonathon Sterling Sonja Washington Ruby Willmann
Last season’s Austin Under-21 Poetry Slam Team took BNV in San Jose, California by storm, stunning audiences and judges alike with their brilliant group piec

On behalf of nuestra familia de Resistencia Bkstr/Red Salmon Arts, we would like to sincerely thank everyone for their generous out pouring of spiritual, emotional, and financial support in this difficult time of the passing of our founder/ Xicanindio elder raulrsalinas. On the day of his send off, his great ability to unite people manifested through poetry, song, dance, elegy, testimony, and rhythm. Y raul responded with rain, thunder, and rainbows . . . the heavens were singing! It is a tremendous loss of strength, history, and inspiration to all our communities. But despite his passing/transition, we will do anything & everything in our power to keep his flame BURNING & we will fight/work to keep the legacy/vision of raulrsalinas ALIVE!
