POETREE

This is a wonderful intro! I look forward to revisiting it in greater depth later this week when I have time to watch both vids.

I've seen some Boston area slam poets perform, but have yet to write poetry specifically for performance myself (though pod_together may change that...). There's something about hearing spoken word poetry performed vs hearing poetry written first for reading / viewing on the page being recited that reminds me of the difference between attending a Sunday morning African-American Baptist service &, say, a High Episcopal service.
