Poetry Picnic 2012


This contains pretty much all you need to know about Poetry Picnic 2012!

The League of Extraordinary Poets (LEP) is excited to invite you to the first ever UMD Poetry Picnic! 

The Picnic will be held on Thursday April 5th from 11am-3pm in Kochoff Hall.

What is the Poetry Picnic, you ask?
Well, basically it's a huge indoor picnic where you get to eat food, hang out with friends, and watch people participate in a fun competition that doesn't require you to know much about poetry at all. Seriously. 

Teams compete (for prizes!) in a three-round poetry competition. Each team chooses an established poet to serve as their poet mascot, and the teams then choose any of their mascot's poems to perform in any of the rounds - dramatic reading, skit/interpretive dance, and the wild card round. Performances are judged for awesomeness and creativity, and prizes are awarded. 

Did we mention there is a picnic involved? Yay!

Everyone is welcome to attend the picnic! But, if you'd like, you can RSVP and we'll prepare a picnic basket for you and reserve a picnic blanket for you, too!

The handy-dandy "How To Poetry Picnic" guide gives you virtually all the information you need about the Picnic. If you could share this with your friends, colleagues, students, neighbors, etc., that would be terrific!
