A Life in Words

Why is it valuable to read about other people’s experiences? Many students are expressing themselves at poetry slams. A poetry slam is an event where poets perform their work before an audience. Poems can be recited in many ways. Some poems are presented in a lyrical style like hip hop. Other poems are presented like narratives. All poets are encouraged to express themselves using their words, voice patterns, and body movements. What is your favorite poem?
