My favorite columnist Neil Steinberg recently wrote about the Uptown Poetry Slam. (Can't get back to the column in the ST archives right now, I'll try to figure it out and post a link). I am loath to try to summarize one of Neil's columns, especially when I can't refer back to it, but I'll have a go at it anyway-
You can't imagine how cool these slam poets are. You'll be on your feet, stomping, clapping, snapping, cheering.
Hope that covers it. Sorry, Neil.
I have photographed several of the original group of slam poets, including the slampappy Marc Smith. You can see the many moods of Marc in the photo above. and here is a link to a gallery of more portraits of Slam poets.
