Mr. Edward Steele designed the inaugural ACAMIS Poetry Slam, a landmark event that brought together young voices from across the region for a day of linguistic celebration. At the heart of this event was a very special guest: Australian rapper, poet, writer, and educator, Xannon Shirley, known professionally as&nbsp;<strong>The Tongue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls poster=\"https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-video-cover-scaled.png\" src=\"https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ACAMIS-Poetry-Slam.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tap the video above for more highlights<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The journey began before the main event, as The Tongue integrated himself into the daily life of our High School. He conducted intensive workshops with our Language and Literature English students, diving deep into the mechanics of performance poetry. But he didn\u2019t just teach; he listened. In a unique collaborative effort, The Tongue worked with our students to recreate an unofficial &#8220;Utahloy Anthem.&#8221; This piece wasn&#8217;t just a song; it was a mirror reflecting the lived experiences of our student body, crafted entirely through their voices and insights. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"31460\" src=\"https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002.png 1280w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-1024x1536.png 1024w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-8x12.png 8w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-320x480.png 320w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-480x720.png 480w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-002-800x1200.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-id=\"31461\" src=\"https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/utahloy.cn\/gz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/uisg-hosts-inaugural-acamis-poetry-slam-with-australian-sensation-the-tongue-oct-2026-003-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day commenced with masterclasses delivered by The Tongue and UISG\u2019s own published poet and educator, Edward Steele. These sessions set the stage for the afternoon\u2019s competition, where over 35 students took to the microphone. The atmosphere was electric, charged with the nervous excitement of artistic vulnerability. Whether performing as soloists or in impressively coordinated team acts, each student offered a unique interpretation and delivery. The range of topics was as diverse as the student body itself, covering themes of advocacy, identity, frustration, and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

And I heard some incredible poems that just blew my mind.
