The participants will have experienced an intense 48 hours in bars, clubs and other public spaces through out Berlin. The studies include hard drinking, discussions, confessions and experimental writing, and will finally conclude with a ceremony - Each poet will deliver a spoken presentation of their first masterpiece and here after receive a certificate registering their great efforts and new earned talent. The ceremony will be hosted by the established writer and film maker Tim Blue. After the ceremony the students and their friends will be given the chance to celebrate with a shot of Absinthe. We hope to see you there, Professors of Poetry and Members of the Mai Tai University Schedule and other Subjects. (List of Bars and pubs is closed to the broad public.)
