Does anyone here like slam poetry?
I have been getting into it more and more recently.
Right now I am enjoying Mary Fons' "I love you": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj1YdcfBgaU

But I also adore Taylor Mali ("What a Teacher Really Makes" and "On Girls Lending Pens") and Rives ( "Kite" "Mockingbird" and "If I Controlled the Internet").

You can look all of them up youtube if you aren't familiar with them. All three have quite a few poems posted.

Do you know any good poets that I can look up or listen too?? I am sure there are more out there that I haven't found yet.




And folks, if you have never listened to any of this stuff, it's not the stuck up poetry you read in grade school. Take a look. Besides, I promise not to give you a test on it, which, even without looking at it now, makes it 3 billion times better then your High School English course.
