Collection: Slam Poetry
Slam Poetry is a dynamic and electrifying fusion of spoken word performance and competitive art form that emerged from the underground poetry scene in the 1980s. Drawing inspiration from traditional poetry and the rhythmic cadence of beat poetry, slam poets deliver their verses with raw emotion, theatrical flair, and often biting social commentary. This genre emphasizes not just the content of the poem, but also the delivery, as performers use their voices, body language, and timing to captivate audiences and convey powerful messages. Slam Poetry events typically feature poets competing against each other in timed performances, judged by randomly selected audience members, creating an interactive and engaging experience that blurs the lines between literature, performance art, and social activism.
