Well, due to the overwhelming response to last year's poetry slam at AWP, I have been asked to take over the nightly open mics! So this year AWP 2K8 will feature a nightly slam and open mic!
(The 2008 AWP Conference will be held at the Hilton on Times Square in mid-town Manhattan from 1/30-2/2/08)
Taken from the AWP website program. . .
