Poetry has and always will be read aloud to an audience. You will never fully grasp the power of poetry unless you read it aloud. It is designed to be read aloud.

That said, fuck the hacks that use poetry as a political/ideological vehicle like 99% of slam poetry.

Slam poetry seems like yet another tentacle of the neoliberal left's perverse conquest of all culture.

It is just enabled narcissism. No one in it is challenged to produce masterworks of art, they are just using identity to give it value.

The utter state of /lit/ incels.

Slam poetry slaps the pretentiousness of white supremacy academics back to where it belongs, textbooks.

Unlearn your sexism and whiteness and feel the passion of truly felt words and their vibration in the audience. Beautiful.

The focus on the person is the issue dude. You need to read less bed poetry, respectfully.
