ShitFuck Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 If you're into spoken word, check out Taylor Mali. He's an English teacher from NYC.. I think his website is www.taylormali.com. I usually leave slam poetry to angsty girls, but his shit is really funny and tight. But does anyone know where I can a copy of his "How to write a political poem" online? I first heard it on Sage's Known Unsoldier. I can't find it online, and my Kazaa isn't working. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunm Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 i was always under the impression "slam poetry" was for people who couldn't rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pilau Hands Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 great words i've heard him perform and it's always a good time an old friend of mine was a slam poet and part of a youth organization in nyc. whenever we'd go to a slam i'd see a few of the poets now featured on def jam and whatnot. another favorite of mine is Beau Sia that man is talented and funny. he wrote a book of poetry taking the titles in Jewel's book and writing what came to mind. www.beausia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I caught this guy on that Poetry Slam shit on HBO one night. Didn't realize it was the same cat from the Sage CD. He's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
