Re: Who is your favorite spoken word poet on page?
Mon, February 26, 2007 - 2:48 PMTry Tony Brown, Woorcester Ma. He has a number of chapbooks out there.
My suggestion is to listen to a poet, then read their work and see if you get the same understanding.

Wed, February 28, 2007 - 2:30 PMCheck out Daphne Gottleib. She's done both traditional poetry books, chaps, and now comix with poem and pix intertwined. "Final Girl" is brilliant, but she has at least two new books coming out this year. -

Mon, March 5, 2007 - 11:39 AMRachel has a lot of new poems, page poems, on her myspace page blog that i linked up above. Not any of her famous slam stuff, but good poetry nonetheless. "Central Park; Mother's Day" --one of her best slam poems, is written out at the piper jane project myspace page. piper jane is Marty McConnel, Lynne Procope, Emily Kagan, and Rachel--all of which are phenomenal writers and performers. www.myspace.com/piperjaneproject --read their blog, and then visit their own pages as well...you'll find a few poems that might work really well for the class.
Patricia Smith is another slam poet that many people think works well on the page--she just released a new book pretty recently, and I think it got pretty good acclaim. -

Wed, March 7, 2007 - 1:52 PMIf it's Sage Francis from Providence your talking about, I'm not sure if he has anything on page. I know I have 3 CD's of his but no chaps. Try checking on the poetassylum web sight. They have a listing for chapbooks and such on sale for that region usually. Or Bob might know how to get it.
As for Patricia Smith, her work rocks.. in more ways than one.
