http://giftshop.anthology.org/Tickets_Detail/Tickets_ARS.html

The author and editor of over nine volumes of poetry and prose (50 Mistakes Poets Make and High Desert Voices: The 2005 National Poetry Slam Anthology most recently), Scott Woods has performed in a number of venues and with an assortment of accompaniments. His work has been used in creative writing and historical literature classes at numerous universities and high schools, has been featured multiple times on National Public Radio, and recently in Paste magazine.

He was inducted into the Thomson-Gale Contemporary Black Biography encyclopedia in 2006. He was the founder of the poetry performance group The Black Air Poets, and has published articles, reviews and other prose. He was the coach and a member of the Columbus Slam Team that placed third in the 2000 Rust Belt Regional Poetry Slam (and won it in 2001), and was the coach and a member of Columbus's first-ever National Poetry Slam Team that participated in the 2001 National Poetry Slam. He is currently President of Poetry Slam Inc., which oversees the annual National Poetry Slam and the Individual World Poetry Slam; MCs an open mic series in Columbus, Ohio; is the founder of the Greatest Slow Jam Ever website; and DJs interactive music sets as Scott's Groove Locker. He also writes a monthly poetry column - "Poetry Is Doomed" - for GotPoetry.com.

In April 2006 Scott made history by performing the first-ever 24-hour poetry feature, a feat he bested by doing another 24-hour feature in April of 2007, but without repeating a single poem from the previous year..

Beginning at 6PM, Scott will be conducting a free workshop for poetry, followed by his feature at 8PM. Tickets for the reading are $7. Opening up for Scott will be local poet Sharon Skinner.
