I don't know where when poetry slams began, but I am sure that one of the earliest, if not the birth was at the vintage "Greenmill" jazz joint at Broadway and Lawrence in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. The club has been around since the good old 20's and 30's gangster period. It is one of only four or five real jazz joints in town. Google it and discover.<BR/><BR/>As for the photo, I love the bold color and type face. Also the stride is nice and the hands are nice to examine.<BR/><BR/>Steve in Chicago.Steverinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713212685819342280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-68857433667059960802008-06-28T20:17:00.000+02:002008-06-28T20:17:00.000+02:00Coltrane: I enjoyed Taylor Mali's poem.

Bravo.<BR/><BR/>Tomate -- Thanks for telling us about Grand Corps Malade. I'm thinking of when I was at school in Paris, trying to comprehend all of Villon's Ballade des Dames du Temps Jadis and writing papers romanticizing Baudelaire. I think if I was there now, instead of "Je suis comme le roi d'un pays pluvieux," je serais en train de dissequer "J'ai tout le temps loeil du tigre, et je dors sur mes deux oreilles."<BR/>I believe "slamming" all started here in NYC, back in 1969 (when I was studying Villon!) at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, with Pedro Pietri, Miguel Pinero, and Miguel Algarin. (Did you see the movie Pinero?)Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-39838180369274309762008-06-28T02:15:00.000+02:002008-06-28T02:15:00.000+02:00Lots of color, (and I've never heard of slamming, ...Lots of color, (and I've never heard of slamming, either!), and a great composition, Eric!
