My friend Matt is kind of insane. He does, like, everything, but something he’s really gotten into is poetry slams. He reads and participates in the weekly Portland Poetry Slams most Sundays, and a couple months ago decided that what our college needed was a slam poetry club. Naturally, I joined on, and last week we had our first “official” slam. Here are my performances (even though I missed two lines in the second one which I’m still upset about), and you should definitely go to our club’s YouTube channel to check out the rest of people’s stuff, because everyone was great!
