Organised and emceed by Oxford Professor of Poetry, A.E. Stallings, the Dead Poet Slam is an opportunity to recite or perform a favourite poem by a Dead Poet. All people and languages are welcome.
If you would like to recite a poem (there is a 6-minute limit per slot, unless arranged with emcee beforehand), please sign up using the form below. Memorisation is greatly encouraged, but not strictly mandatory (it is OK to have a spotter with the text in case you get stuck!). The room has a piano, and song settings of poems by a Dead Poet are also welcome.
Add an asterisk to your name on the sign up sheet if you are interested in competing in an actual "slam" - and have another poem up your sleeve for a face off. A reception will follow afterwards.
