Prose/Poetry Reading

 

This event qualifies for the OHSSL, but not the NFL.

 

Prose/Poetry is unique in several ways.  First, it is the only event that allows reading from a script.  Second, it does not use original material, but speakers cut previously published material from several sources and cobble those pieces together into a original script.  What follows is best described as "performative reading."  Consider Prose/Poetry like a session at a library or coffee house where a speaker performances his/her literature.
