Welcome to the Slampapi's Fan Page - If you're one of my fans say "So What!" and sign up as a friend and get news and propaganda from me, Marc Smith, founder, creator, and crazy-old-man behind the International Poetry Slam Movement and Chicago Style Performance Poetry.
MARC KELLY SMITH - the founder of the Poetry Slam
Marc Kelly Smith is best known for bringing to the world wide poetry
community a new style of poetic presentation that has spawned one the most
important social/literary arts movements of our time. As stated in the PBS
television series, The United States of Poetry, a “strand of new poetry
began at Chicago’s Green Mill Tavern in 1987 when Marc Smith found a home
for the Poetry Slam.â€
Born on the southeast side of Chicago, Smith’s innate sense of rhythm and
unflinching realism has made him one of the country’s most compelling
performers. Full of grit, his performances break poetic boundaries, giving
audiences an acute vision of what poetry is and what it can be.
