Hannah judges Urbana Diva Slam 2013 in Lower East Side, NY
Saw some amazing spoken word poetry at Urbana Diva Slam, where ladies battled to see who’d represent at the 2013 Women of the World Poetry Slam in March.
I was introduced to poets I should have been following all along: Catalina Ferro, who’s quickly becoming one of my favorites and Thuli Zuma, who took the win Tuesday night. The appearance by Taylor Mali was a wonderful surprise, as well.
Need to do this again. And again. And again.
(Thanks for coming, Daisy & Hannah!)
I am 9-years-old for the rest of my life.
I am Thanksgiving: At the movies.
I am Christmas Eve: Drunk.
I am Mother’s Day: “Don’t fucking talk to me!”
I am orphan.
— Catalina Ferro in her spoken word poem, “Orphan“
Watch me make love — to hard work ethics
Cause game without ambition is game never respected
— Lemon Andersen in his poem, “Watch Me“
