Spoken word luna/tics gathered in force on Thursday night at the Singapore Poetry Slam™ and performed before another 100+ capacity audience. 
Elizabeth Ho proved she had the winning formula with stunning performances of well-honed texts delivered passionately from memory. She took out first prize ($50) to runner-up birthday man, Riqi Hanzrudyn, ($25) a new rising talent. Roshni Raheja came in a close third. Well done all.
In addition, four lucky lottery winners took home Victoria Lim's spoken word collection 'Dreadful', from the Red Wheelbarrow Books, Loudmouth Series along with Michelle Turberfield, a sixteen year old poet with the makings who received the new monthly award 'Most Promising Poet of the Slam'.
Poet Nupur Saraswat with Abbey Simone on vocals guitar did a very fresh musical spoken word piece. Look for their feature at the upcoming Poetry Slam™. Make sure you come early to secure your seat on Thurs, March 29. We will be posting the event's page on Facebook within the next week.
