Below you will find some folks who have written, performed, and posted amazing slam poems online. There is some controversial information located here but as I have found in my research and experience, the thrill of this poetry is to speak your voice and for once in 'civilized' society not care who doesn't agree because those who do will certainly outweigh those who don't. I love the edginess. The four I chose here are truly inspirational to me. Each poem advances in terms of seemingly inappropriate language but they are all worth listening to for the message. Enjoy! L
