12th Annual Framingham High Poetry Slam Wednesday
Public invited to attend the verbal competition between poets at Amazing Things Arts Center on April 29.

It will be a battle of words on Wednesday night, April 29, as Framingham High will hold the final round of its 12th Annual Senior Class Poetry Slam.
A “slam” is a competition between teams of poets who perform their own original work, bringing poetry off the page and onto the stage in a gloves-off, no-holds-barred verbal boxing match with judges chosen randomly from the audience, explained organizer and Framingham High teacher Alison Courchesne.
This Framingham High slam began as a class project in 2004, and has since turned into a school-wide, and now community-wide event,explained Courchesne.
