SUMMARY:Exhibit S.T.E.A.M Poetry Slam
DESCRIPTION:
 Ten poets from MSU and the greater Lansing community 
 will write and perform poetry about the 
 social and environmental issues connected to 
 the global climate crisis, and will compete 
 for three cash prizes: a $500 grand prize, $250 
 second place prize, and $125 third place 
 prize. The Exhibit S.T.E.A.M Poetry Slam (formally 
 known as the STEAM Engine Poetry Slam) 
 is one of the most unique poetry slams in the 
 world because of the way it maintains the integrity 
 of a normal poetry slam while also having 
 its own personality and originality. The 
 5th installation of this poetry slam is hosted 
 by Natasha T. Miller, MSU Museum's Community 
 Engagement Manager and a Women of the World 
 Poetry Slam 3-time- top five finalist, and 
 co-sponsored by RCAH Center for Poetry. This 
 event will be live streamed for the public, and 
 the top poets will be selected by 5 community 
 judges.\n
 \n
 The event will also feature Brittany 
 Rogers. Rogers is a poet, mother, educator, 
 and native Detroiter. She has work published 
 or forthcoming in Mississippi Review, The 
 Metro Times, The Offing, Obsidian: Literature 
 & Arts in the African Diaspora, and Oprah 
 Daily. Her work has been anthologized in "The 
 BreakBeat Poets: Black Girl Magic" and "Best 
 of the Net". Brittany is a fellow of  VONA, 
 The Watering Hole, Poetry Incubator, and Pink 
 Door Writing Retreat. She is Editor in Chief 
 for Muzzle Magazine and co-host of VS Podcast.

 program is in conjunction with the exhibition

 climate crisis on view in the MSU Museum's Main 
 Gallery September 6, 2022 - February 25,
