def poetry

Created by Mos Def, it features poets and artist from around the country. It was telivised on HBO and can be bought on DVD. A poetry slam in this context, would be a smaller auditorium or play hall, but many poetry slams take place in cofee shops and other assorted small shops.

"Man did you see Jewel read her poem on last nights Def Poetry Jam? It made me so angry at everyone!"

poet

A
Poet

Used to be
someone who
Wrote a lot of lines that rhymed & were otherwise
possessed of a musical quality that did not
necessarily require
strings or drums in the
background
& was altogether too smart for words

Now a poet is
just
someone who
fucks about with the length
of
lines
so as to make
the utterly
banal
appear to have unplumbed depths of meaning
which I suppose
is at least moderately
more
democratic

Everyone's a poet ... only they just don't know it.

poetry slam

It's like a rap battle, but without the black people.

"You want to come with me to a poetry slam?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't collect Pokemon."
