Bravo Child, last year's winner of the Poetry Slam Final, up this year as the sacrificial poet for the NSW Poetry Slam Final. The sacrificial poet being the first poet of the night to fall under the hammer and whiteboard markers of the randomly chosen members of the judging panel.

Points, however, matter not as the poet is not part of the final line up vying for the title of champion.

Nothing with the spilling of blood, as one audience member gasped in anticipation of. Or anything to do with the poultry slam others have been known to ponder and enquire about.



Following the rules of the Poetry Slam final, Bravo Child would wind out well into the negatives breaking it out past the 2 minute mark.

Location, location, location and in this location, The Members' Room of the Mitchell Wing of the State Library New South Wales. Nice old books there. Watch it the rabid crowd don't try shifting the heavy chairs for a better view. It's as if some people can't stand standing.
