At the June livewords show we will have a unique iteration of our ‘open mic contest’ with a night of poetry in translation.

All participants have to do is select a poem he/she particularly likes translated into English from any other language on Earth, read it to the assembled masses, then sit down – . If the piece is short, one may also wish to read it in the language of composition, as well.

As usual our arbitrary and idiosyncratic judges will select one of the participants to receive our monthly open mic cash prize.
