Poetry slam is the competitive art of performance poetry. This format places dual emphasis on writing and performance, but the poet may not use props, costumes or musical instruments. Each poem must be written by the performer, and no rhyming is necessary. We will accept poems up to three minutes in length, in keeping with the rules of competitive poetry slams. Please join us in this session where you can express yourself in free form and share your passions with the broad AGU community. Note that the abstract submission for this session should include an approximate title and broad subject of the poem, but not the text of the poem itself as we hope to encourage spontaneity. Please prepare your poetry for a family audience. If we are in a virtual mode for fall meeting, poems will be uploaded in advance and complex background visuals will be permitted.
