"The points are not the point – the point is poetry."
What a fantastic night this was. Crammed from start to finish with poetry, talent, passion, truth, music and joy.
As a poetry slam virgin I was half expecting this poetry slam to be all about egos and hot air. It may be so in some quarters but not at all the case as far as this event is concerned. The poetry slam section was the main part of the event and poetry was the heart and soul of the experience throughout the evening.
Nicole May and LyriCalligraphy were brilliant hosts whose participation enhanced and almost seemed to empower the performances. Freestyle Fictionary had me in stitches. The band 8 Gold Rings delivered excellence and what can I write about Kid Katharsis except if he isn’t signed up to a record label he should and will be soon.
One Mic Stand enthused me to the degree I took to the stage in the “jam session” and performed.
If you get the chance to go to one of these events in the future – take it!
