Delighted
How could I have missed this thread?? I LOVE SLAM, I have all the seasons of Def Poetry... I am moved to tears by more slam poets than by girly movies.
Thanks for this, what a great Friday AM treat!!

Posted especially for the last one: Commercial Break Are your images inefficient? Is your diction bland? Tired of writing poetry that doesn't work? Then consider what a Mexican can do for you. Strategically placed, a Mexican will fire up your drab, white poems. At Pretty White Poetry we have an inventory of Mexicans in all shades of brown. Need an authentic- indigenous tone? Try our mud- brown, Indian Mexican. Your audience will taste the lust in Montezuma's loins as they devour your work. Want some spice but not too much pepper? A Spanish concentrated Mexican is the perfect touch. Maria, tortilla, mango, trabajo— just a sample of the thousands of exotic words on sale waiting to decorate your lines. Even Hispanic poets sprinkle our Latin lingo into their writing. If our diction brings authenticity to their work, imagine what it will do for yours! PWP understands the difficulty of crafting well-paced rhythmic lines. So we've imported salsa-smooth Puerto Rican vernacular* to make your diction dance and your syntax sway. Don't worry about mixing Mexican and Puerto Rican imagery—most readers won't know the difference! PWP deals exclusively with safe language. Our words are carefully chosen to be edgy but never make liberal white readers uneasy. That means more publishing opportunities for you! Our Mexicans are cheap, but they are always high-quality. Here at PWP, our motto is: "If your poem has Mexicans you know it's gonna work!" *Puerto Rican vernacular available only while supplies last. Taken from http://www.sharkforum.org/2007/01/po...ercial-br.html Paul Martinez Pompa has lived in the Chicagoland area for most of his life. He studied at the University of Chicago and at Indiana University, where he received his MFA in creative writing. His chapbook, Pepper Spray, was published by Momotombo Press in 2006. He currently teaches English at Triton College. His writing has appeared in After Hours, Borderlands, and Rhino. -------- The man reading the poem is not the poet. He is a poet though, and I ran across this reading while looking for a poem he wrote regarding a wolf - which I cannot find on YouTube. I did hear a section of it in the poetry foundation's poetry lectures podcast which I recommend if you are as nerdy-in-love with poetry as I am.

huge respect for Saul Williams (Def Jam poetry)
I think I've posted this before, but this is probably my all-time favorite "spoken word" artist, speaking politically on "coded language:" Saul Williams. |
