New Jersey Poetry Ourselves Slam is a showcase of original poetry created by high school students across New Jersey. 

 New Jersey Poetry Ourselves is a program inspired by Poetry Out Loud’s National Poetry Ourselves program.  State and Regional Finalists participate with the option to submit a written poem or a spoken-word poem. Over a 4-week process, students craft their pieces with mentor Mannikka Rosa. 

Each participant of the program are invited to showcase their original pieces in a slam at The Vogel for an audience to enjoy. 

 Prizes for First, Second, and Third place will be awarded at the slam as the culmination of prior judging.
