DAYTON — Local poets will test their prowess Saturday, March 28, in the University of Dayton’s annual Lit Fest slam.

Lincoln Schreiber, who has led a local revival of slam poetry, will be featured in the “American Idol”-style competition.

Award-winning writer and editor Janet McAdams, the author of “The Island of Lost Luggage,” will give a reading before the event, which will start at 9:30 p.m. at UD’s ArtStreet complex, Lawnview Avenue and Kiefaber Street.

Associate English professor Albino Carrillo said Lit Fest will begin March 27 with events including a reception, readings and discussions. There will also be other activities on March 27.

All events are free and open to the public. For more information, call (937) 229-3417, or send an email to albino.carrillo@notes.udayton.edu
