Join us in the Jackson State University Student Center Ballroom B at noon on January 29 for the central regional Poetry Out Loud competition. Poetry Out Loud is a nationwide high school contest in which students compete by reciting poetry; winners are decided by judges using a variety of metrics like memorization and articulation.
The program is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Mississippi Arts Commission, and the Poetry Foundation.
Learn more about the competition on the Poetry Out Loud website.
