Saint Paul National Poetry Slam 2010

I experienced a poetry slam for the first time last weekend. I've been to spoken word before but this is a little different; I'm now a fan!!

This is the complete poem performed by Sierra DeMulder of St. Paul's Soap Boxing slam poetry team at the semifinals of the National Poetry Slam, courtesy of YouTube.

The poem is being told from the perspective of Jeffery Dahmer's mother......it's deep!!!!

Needless to say, the St. Paul Soap Boxing team were the winners!
