Once again, the poetry inspired all in attendence. And as expected,
the competition was tight: another close match between Point Arena, Anderson
Valley, Fort Bragg, and Mendocino. The old Pangea building was filled to capacity,
and everyone was listening as the youth spoke of their pain, joy, fear, and
laughs.

for the Oakland East Bay Symphony's Words & Music Project, who selected
the Mendocino County High School Slam to join 6 other California Counties in

hours of expression to an astounded Lolly Lewis, coordinator for the OEBS.
