You may have heard of Bobby Crawford. He is a retired elite figure skater; a quite above-average Ms.PacMan player; led the Emerson Poetry Project to 2012 Organization of the Year; had a book published; is a two-time member of the Boston Poetry Slam national team; appeared on semi-finals stage at both CUPSI and NPS; has been featured numerous times in mildly successful Youtube videos; his poems have been read across the United States; he is still the highest ranked Cantab IWPS representative ever. He pours stuff into cups for a living, and really, really loves to hear poems read aloud by people who care about them. He lives in Denver, Colorado; he has no dog, and no family.
Note that tonight’s open poetry slam is a speed slam with 3-, 2-, and 1-minute rounds. Slam winners qualify for the 2018 World Qualifier.
