It's what happens when you read the poems good. I got asked today about my "transition" to the page like a nig ain't been publishing.

I banned the term “slam poet” from a one-long high school creative writing class I taught a few summers ago. And I ban it from every bio and promo and it’s just like. Yes this thread and everyone on it and the work and the craft.

wild that this thread is over a year old and also everything still applies lol. i get “spoken word artist” sometimes too, sometimes while billed alongside someone else who is just called a “poet”

THAT IS EVEN MORE INFURIATING to be billed alongside in that way. Also. OMG re a year old. I didn’t even notice bc yes - EVERYTHING STILL APPLIES! Bahhhh.
