The Breathing Through Paper Poetic Idol Award Anthology

The Breathing Through Paper Poetic Idol Award Anthology

Jodi
0/5 ( ratings)
a word from . . . WrittenInPain

When the vision for poetic idol came about in my mind, it stemmed from my desire to sort of up the ante sort of speak in the Blog Talk Radio poetic community.

I had grown tired of poets receiving mundane responses to their poetry on a sometimes nightly basis. It was also fueled by a desire to push poets outside of their comfort zones and get them to explore while learning things about themselves and the art form. I also thought it would be entertaining to fans of the poetic community if they had a chance to see some of their favorite poets in a competitive setting.

Come audition time the turn out was enormous as over 30 poets tried out for the contest. Karama Sadaka, Lyrical Movements and myself tried our best to pick the poets that we thought had the most drive and combination of delivery, language usage and creativity. It was a wonderful 12 weeks of phenomenal poetry.

In the end, I’d like to see this collection as a time capsule sort of speak. Some of the very best in our community pushed their pens in the name of poetry, sharing themselves with us on a weekly basis with true dedication. I remember King Shakur with a child in back ground ... Quise calling from work .... Urban voodoo spitting by plane train or automobile ... and Goddess Ink spitting from her hospital bed.
