  1. My first experience of slam poetry was in Hawaii during a conference. This young woman got up onstage and spoke with utter conviction about the history of the Maori people through her slam verse. It set my blood racing.

    It was inspirational, so too Mali Taylor from what you say here. I'll have to check him out. Thanks.
