Speaking to some of the greatest social injustices of our time, slam poetry seeks to be a channel through which young people can express themselves through the spoken word. Rather than the typical pentameter of older forms of poetry, the "slam" style of poetry draws its inspiration from movement and rhythm (much like the rap music of today). In this course, you will watch and be inspired by varied examples of slam poetry and then create a powerful piece of your very own.
