BlackBerry Peach Spoken Word Events & Contests

The National Federation of State Poetry Societies (NFSPS) began BlackBerry Peach with the intent of recognizing and celebrating performance poetry. BlackBerry Peach has officially combined with the NFSPS Annual Convention to further the effort to bring page and stage poets closer and to learn from one another.
