5.0 out of 5 stars Slam - an introduction to a new type of poetry, Jun 13 2004

By

Katie "ktrj720" (Louisiana, US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alloy Books Slam (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a great book for people, especially teenagers, who have been stuck in classrooms listening to teachers drone on about rhyming and iambic pentameter all of their lives. I don't know if it's the greatest "slam" book of all time, but it is a great introduction to the general type of poetry. The book is very inspirational to me, and I like how quotes and song lyrics are added to the sides of the page, making each page totally interesting. It inspired me to do one of the few school projects I've ever enjoyed, a difficult poetry project on William Carlos Williams. A few months after purchasing this I got "Bum Rush The Page", another poetry book I really enjoy. Overall, it's a great book for any teen to have, filled with our everyday emotions but also teaching us something about poetry that English class doesn't seem to want us to know.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I'd hoped for
I bought this book hoping for a wonderful, enlightening, lively poetic slam between various poets or at least a free-flowing verse extravaganza. Read more
