You are freelance struggling writer. I am the publisher of Macleans magazine. I am willing to pay $5000 for the best article about slam poetry (spoken word poetry, performance poetry - whatever you want to call it). MAKE ME CHOOSE YOUR ARTICLE!
Explain what it is and use three different poets as examples. Choose one poem for each poet and summarize it,comment on the mood and/or important elements within the poem. Explain the theme- what's the point? What is the poet's objective with this poem?
Include at least one direct reference for each (worked smoothly into your own sentence of course).
Give your article an interesting title.
A picture or two makes it look much more like a magazine article.
Consider Shayne Koyczan, Taylor Mali, Sarah Kay, Saul Williams, Beau Sia, Def Poetry.
