One day Id like to see the New Paltz poets on the final stage of the National College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational...I just want the team to write well, perform well, and like each other. Everything else comes second.

I would love to see them do more urban competitions, maybe go to high schools in the city and perform and inspire kids to write. My biggest goal is that the team doesnt lose the spark that started the fire. -Co-President Danit Ianovici
