spoken word

I was just listening to some Saul Williams, began talking with my parents about spoken word and ended up showing them some of Anis Mojghani's work. His slam poetry is so amazing.
If you've got ten minutes to spare, listen to this:

if you have three minutes fast forward until the third poem, "Shake the Dust."

And if you like poetry, we should go to Monday poetry nights downtown sometime over the next six months.

Are they even still doing that? Where have they been holding them since Fantasia turned into The Anker and died?

Anyway, I'm up for some Monday night poetry when I'm not working.
