Rachel 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.
