It's been years in the coming (is that even a thing?) but finally the NZ Poetry Slam is about to have it's grand final in the South Island. Last year's champion Daisy Speaks (Daisy Lavea-Timo) broke the stranglehold of the north on the title of NZ Slam Champion and now she's helping to bring the event itself to Ōtautahi/Christchurch.
Just another milestone in the remarkable renaissance of spoken word in Christchurch and nationally over the last 15 years.
Today's the day, if you're in Christchurch get along to see the best of this year's regional slam champs battle it out on the mic for the national title. Local two-time champion Ray Shipley will lead a three person challenge from Ōtautahi including Barrett Rob and Troy Buckland.
The venue is the pretty much brand new Haeata Community Campus auditorium in Aranui.

I’m impressed, I need to say. Really not often do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you will have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the problem is one thing that not sufficient individuals are talking intelligently about. I'm very glad that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something relating to this. play casino
