Click through for a video of the three poets' performances.
As part of the the University of Wyoming's Martin Luther King, Jr. Days of Dialogue series, Smith, Lefebre and Wilson trekked to Laramie to teach a workshop on slam poetry. In front of an audience of 24 students, the group began and ended by performing their own work, splitting the middle with a series of timed prompts encouraging their crowd to create. At the workshop's close, all three took to the stage of the student union's lounge to perform again, this time accompanied by their new students.
