Def Poetry Jam meets Double Dare at this gloves-off, glasses-on competitive reading extravaganza! Notorious wordsmiths Jillian Lauren, Daniel Alarcón, and others navigate their way through two rounds of cutthroat, tongue-in-cheek judging by the likes of author Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket series) and ice skating star Brian Boitano.
