When Kaylan Rosa is not writing or procrastinating poetry she spends her time listening to mad raps, maintaining her hella rad fashion game, and doing a plethora of thespian-related things.
Kaylan Rosa also just so happens to be a dedicated fan and whole hearted lover of the beverage coconut water, so if anyone ever has a hankering to buy her some coconut water ... please ... do not hesitate to do so.
P.S. she hates it with pulp.
Kaylan Rosa will be one of the calibration poets as poets The Klute, Verbal Kensington, Evan Dissinger, Joy Young, Gabbi Jue, James Gould, Lauren Remy, Valence, Lauren Perry, Rowie Shebala, Spencer Troth and Maya Hall will face off at the Sedona Poetry Grand Slam.

Slam poetry is an art form that allows written page poets to share their work alongside theatrical performers, hip-hop artists and lyricists. While many people may think of poetry as dull and laborious, a poetry slam is like a series of high-energy, three-minute one-person plays.
All types of poetry are welcome on the stage, from street-wise hip-hop and narrative performance poems, to political rants and introspective confessionals. Any poem is a "slam" poem if performed in a competition. All poets get three minutes per round to entertain their audience with their creativity. The poets will be judged Olympics-style by five members of the audience selected at random at the beginning of the slam.
At Nationals, the Sedona National Poetry Slam Team will share the stage with 300 of the top poets in the United States, Canada and Europe, pouring out their words in a weeklong explosion of expression.
Sedona sent its first team to the 2012 National Poetry Slam in Charlotte, N.C., and its second to the 2013 NPS in Boston and Cambridge, Mass.
