Poinsettia Poetry Slam

Get ready for an electrifying evening at NMSA’s third annual Poetry Slam! Join us as our back-to-back champion, Sofia Salazar, defends her crown in a fierce competition open to all students, who have auditioned for a chance to perform. This is more than just poetry—it's an interactive event where writers, performers, judges, and the audience all play a role in who wins. Expect clapping, snapping, stomping, and maybe even some playful booing as students go head-to-head, delivering powerful and inspiring original works in a thrilling display of creativity and passion. It’s going to be a fun, energetic night of slam poetry."
