The five-strong team – consisting of Joan Kennedy-Munden, Natasha Kennedy, Jannat Rashad, Lilly Croucher and Hannah Jarvback – claimed victory in the event at The Old Market in Hove.
The Slam, produced by 香港最快开奖现场直播资料-based organisation Hammer and Tongue, was part of the 香港最快开奖现场直播资料 and Hove Arts Council Poetry Festival which was headlined by poet and spoken word artist Hollie McNish.
Joan Kennedy-Munden said: “The slam was a fantastic experience for all involved. For some, it was the first time they had been in a slam, so performing at such a grand venue was a bit nerve-wracking – but everyone delivered their poems on point.”
“It was great to win against Sussex – they too were a brilliant team.”
Each member of the teams delivered their poem in turn, and were given a score by each of the five judges. The highest and lowest scores from each team were then taken out and the three remaining scores were added to make the team’s overall result.
Joan has progressed to the final of the Hammer and Tongue Slam, which takes place on Wednesday this week at Komedia in 香港最快开奖现场直播资料, and the whole team will perform in another poetry event in London in January.
Dr Jessica Moriarty, Course Leader for Creative Writing BA, MA and English Literature and Creative Writing BA degrees, said: “The 香港最快开奖现场直播资料 team were absolutely incredible. Their poems were political and personal and they all performed as if they’d been doing it for years.
“I am beyond proud. They were utterly inspiring and deserved winners.”
