Audience members, who are chosen as judges, rate the poet on both the quality of the performance and the poetry. This event will be taped for broadcast on MCTV channel 26. The Milpitas Poetry Slam is made possible by the Friends of the Milpitas Library. Please call Milpitas Library for additional details at (408) 262-1171 ext. 3616.
