What is slam poetry? A poet performs a poem for a live audience – a poem which is written to be heard aloud as opposed to read. It’s not hiphop (though it could be), it’s not angry screaming (though it could be), it’s just out-loud competitive performance poetry. Poets are judged and scored. More info at poetryslam.com. Still Waters Collective in Milwaukee is a local slam poetry resource.
“And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them.” – Mark 6.11
“Blends the melancholy of folk music, the grief of black music, the fervor of gospel music, and the magniloquence of operatic arias.”
