Poetry Slam became the theme for Gangway
#44 after I went to see a live performance last year at the Murton Festival. Boy, was I impressed! It was a lot of fun, light years away from stiff poetry readings with long pathetic silences between words. In those slams there was action. Of course performance poetry cannot be printed on paper or screen, it has to be seen in motion. Therefore this issue comes exclusively in YouTube video format.
