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.
