About me:
Welcome to the Slampapi's Fan Page - If you're one of my fans say "So What!" and sign up as a friend and get news and propaganda from me, Marc Smith, founder, creator, and crazy-old-man behind the International Poetry Slam Movement and Chicago Style Performance Poetry.


MARC KELLY SMITH - the founder of the Poetry Slam Marc Kelly Smith is best known for bringing to the world wide poetry community a new style of poetic presentation that has spawned one the most important social/literary arts movements of our time. As stated in the PBS television series, The United States of Poetry, a “strand of new poetry began at Chicago’s Green Mill Tavern in 1987 when Marc Smith found a home for the Poetry Slam.”

Born on the southeast side of Chicago, Smith’s innate sense of rhythm and unflinching realism has made him one of the country’s most compelling performers. Full of grit, his performances break poetic boundaries, giving audiences an acute vision of what poetry is and what it can be.

Who I'd like to meet:
a fairly decent end
not too stormy
not too staid
thrills between ripe solitudes

Hello Marc! I just got notice this morning from Liz Kelsch of Sourcebooks in Chicago about your new book Take The Mic on slam and performance poetry! I'm spreading the word about it here to performance poets across Australia and look forward to reading it.

UNIVERSLAM présente:
DGIZ en concert le mardi 31 mars
première partie, tournoi LE GRAND SLAM DE PANAME à 19h
LES TROIS BAUDETS 64 bd de Clichy, 75018 Paris Métro Blanche (ligne2)
http://www.lestroisbaudets.com/
12.00/15.
00 €

Lucky Luke du verbe, Dgiz mêle hip hop décalé et flows débridés, textes où s’articulent autodérision et biographie salée, lignes mélodiques structurées
et instruments acoustiques inspirés.
Freestyleur déchaîné, jamais en manque de mots, de rimes et d’ironie, Dgiz s’immisce partout : rappeur de cité,
de cabaret, de salon bourgeois ou de squatt underground, son don d’ubiquité ne cesse de surprendre. Slameur virtuose, ses textes sont pertinents.

Il passe en revue les maux de sa génération entre béton et prison, sans pour autant tomber dans les clichés du genre et plutôt que de vociférer sa rage,
il l’évoque et l’effleure avec intelligence mêlant les mots à des sons jazz et hip-hop, le tout dans un flow impressionnant de rapidité. Dgiz mitraille ses rimes avec un humour évident qui ne gêne en rien l’intelligibilité du discours. Une telle maîtrise de la langue mériterait bien une chaire à l’Académie Française... Non ?

Dear Marc !

Shame I haven't yet had the time
To let you know what, to us, matters :
Here's who we are, in a few words,
Or should I say, in a few letters ...



"Le Slamophone is a tribute
To this one lesson we've been missing
To these slam poets who remind us
To get along, we need to listen ..."
