In honor of National Poetry month I am posting a poetry video every day for the rest of April. This is a video of Jamal May. He is the author of Hum, The God Engine and The Whetting of Teeth. This poem is a contrapuntal, which has to be crazy in the head of the …

In honor of National Poetry month I have decided Re-blog one (or more) WordPress (or other) poets a day. I am not very good with rules. So with that in mind I would like to introduce you to an other. I recently attended a slam poetry workshop at Notre Dame University taught by Marty McConnel. It was incredible and inspiring. She spoke about the poetry and the performance. I really had never realized how much was going on in the Slam world. This was one of those moments when I thought, “YES, YES, YES, … I LOVE THIS.” So In honor of National Poetry month and 6 year olds everywhere who change the rules to the game on a dime, I would like to show you a video of a poet every day in April, starting with the very dynamic Marty McConnell. Please check out her incredible Bio at her website. The workshop I attended was free, and she may be coming to venue near you. If she does, GO, you will not be disappointed.

Your image never fades from my minds eye.…. Your silhouette, your smile, your awkward words made idealized. Your strong hands calloused by holding your own heart too high. It repeats like a scratch in my favorite song. Imperfections only enhance your strength, and perception. You learned to walk on broken shards that once was a …
