This year’s poetry slam was a great success. The turnout was better than expected. The event took place in Nordy's Place in the William Pitt Union last night. There were seven poets featured including Calvin Mack, Jay Oriola, Evan Walker, Erin Boyd, Erica Fernandez, Colin Byrd, and Shae Felicien. The host was Jeremiah Davis. Some of the highlights of the night were the satirical pieces done by Erin Boyd and Shae Felicien and the deeper poems of Erica Fernandez and Jay Oriola. More comical poems were performed by CMU Senior Calvin Mack and freshmen Colin Byrd. What had everyone ooing and awwing were the poems performed by Sophomore Evan Walker who discussed the crush he had on a girl in the third grade that he will always remember. Though the event was an hour and a half the memories of the creativeness of Pitt students will stick with me forever.
