Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies and The Eleventh House coffee shop is proud to partner with Corey Ewing, Indiana visual artist, to bring an exciting poetry slam and workshop opportunity to the Lafayette area. We invite all members of the community to apply to be a part of a cohort of 20 people who will participate in the workshops and final poetry slam event!
Ewing will offer two poetry slam workshops and a community-wide poetry slam where participants will perform their poetry created in the workshops. Participants will also receive instruction on how to use the equipment in the letterpress studio in the John Martinson Honors College at Purdue (the PrintBay), so they can design and print a publication that showcases their work.
The workshop involves two sessions on March 6 and 7, 4:00–6:00 PM at The Eleventh House, 116 N. 3rd St., Lafayette, IN; the poetry slam will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 4:00–6:00 PM at The Eleventh House as well. If you would like to be considered as a participant for this event, please fill out this form by midnight on Monday, February 3.
