The 22nd Annual National Poetry Slam will be held in Madison, Wisconsin from August 3-9.
From pentameter to publishing to film screenings to managing depression, Lyrics on the Lake presents a broad arsenal of tools for the development of every attendee.
In fact, not only will NPS teams be encouraged to take stock of their skills and opportunities, but non-competing members will find it worthwhile to travel and participate in the series, as well.
Festival attendees will enjoy a series called PenTactics, which offers instruction and insight on other areas of writing, to include children’s books, screenplays and creative nonfiction.
Other series will ignite full-time performers, scout greater opportunities, support poetry organizers in shaping their local communities, and extend tools to enrich your personal lives.
