a huge success, the first annual mendocino county poetry slam was over three hours of solid, well written, honestly expressed poetry...everybody was impressed with the well crafted, often funny, always insightful poetry offered by students from five of mendocino county's high schools---point arena high, anderson valley high, mendocino high, fort bragg high, and willits high...

congratulations to this year's champion...

MENDOCINO HIGH SCHOOL

while the judges tallied the scores, slammers took a rapping & dancing break atop the cyberbuss...their refrain:

"ain't no party like a poetry party
cause a poetry party don't stop"
