The unique combination of American Sign Language and slam poetry will be featured at the third annual Def Meets Deaf Poetry Jam, hosted by the Lovin’ Cup Bistro at Park Point from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22.
The event will feature poetry presentations by students, faculty and alumni from Rochester Institute of Technology, as well as area performance poets.
The event is free and open to the public.
“ASL and slam poetry both offer a means of artistic expression and emotional release that can be beautiful and therapeutic for both the performers and the audience,” said John Roche, professor of English at RIT and one of the event coordinators.
