So this poem has been online for a minute in one form or another, but now we get a definitive recording courtesy of the good people at Button Poetry, who continue to provide absolutely essential signal-boosting services to spoken-word poets all over the country.
For my extended thoughts on race, representation and the Twin Cities, check this out.
In somewhat related news, two things:
- Be sure to check out the new Higher Education Justice MN site.
- Check out Free Poet’s Press kickstarter for a pop-up bookstore in North MPLS.
- The Twin Cities youth poetry slam season starts in February!
Lots of frustrating things happening, but lots of GOOD things happening too, as those three bullet points illustrate.
Pat– that is definitely a project I am working on this year. Trying to make sure that text is available in some form for all of these poems. I'm just not sure what that will look like when it's done. Thanks!
I like a lot your modern poetry style. From Argentina, I watch your videos to practice my english, so I'd be glad to have the lyrics, because I loose some parts just watching and listening. Where could I see them written?Thanks a lot
