Kealoha, one of the world's best slam poets, will be a featured performer for the 2010 HSPLS Teen Summer Reading Program at three selected public libraries on the island of Hawaii, Kauai, and Oahu in June 2010. Admission is free.

Kealoha, founder of HawaiiSlam, Youth Speaks Hawaii (two-time International Champions), and First Thursdays (largest registered and certified slam poetry competition in the world), will present "Slam Poetry with Kealoha," in celebration of this year's teen summer reading program.

Slam poetry is a modern day form of performance poetry. Kealoha will perform a full slam poetry program that will address social, personal, and cultural themes through storytelling, movement, hip-hop and theatre.
