Poetry: Songline Slam Poetry presents ‘Kidz Bop Newbie Arch’
Even if you don’t think of yourself as someone who can appreciate slam poetry, we hope that you at least think of yourself as someone who can appreciate a reference to Kidz Bop. Do you really qualify as a millennial otherwise?

Featuring 17 groups, including some we didn’t know existed, this particular arts extravaganza has one up on those twice-yearly University-sponsored shows — all proceeds from the $5 ticket go toward the health organization designated by the group voted best-in-show by audience members.
