🎤 What is the slam NOT? Marc Kelly Smith, founder of the slam movement, makes it clear in his book "Take the Mic": ❌ It is not just a text on a sheet — it demands real, live performance in front of an audience. ❌ It is not a formal recital where people applaud out of courtesy. ❌ It is not an elitist art decided by an academic elite. ❌ It is not a talent show or a trick — it is an artistic, transformative, spiritual experience. ❌ It does not seek to define who is "the best poet" — the competition is just a theatrical device to generate attention around poetry. "Poetry does not seek to glorify the one who writes it — it seeks to celebrate the community that surrounds it." — Wendell Berry That is what we do, every event 🎙️ #MapochoPoesiaSlam #WhatIsSlam #SlamPoetry On the flyer: What Is NOT Slam?
