The DU Bookstore Poetry Games


Noah, the DU Bookstore's Stockroom Manager (pictured above), is a poet in his spare time.  He has stated many times that he does not like the idea of "Slam Poetry," where contestants shout their poetry to each other and a winner is chosen from among the participants. Noah feels it is just an attempt to make poetry exciting, and he prefers the unexciting old fashioned kind of poetry readings. Another Bookstore employee, Dee, is also a poet, but takes part in Slam Poetry contests all the time here at the University of Denver.  I say let them face off in the DU Bookstore Stockroom, while everyone is checking in winter quarter textbooks.  Not only will it be an interesting contrast in styles, but it will make the day fly by.  The winner will receive a lifetime supply of out-of-print textbooks.  Let the contest begin!
