Slam PoetryDeveloped in the 1990s, Slam Poetry revitalized the oral traditions in poetry performance. Slam poetry, being a form of spoken word poetry, is popular among young poets. Its subject matter is similar to confessional poetry, such as personal reflections, politics, and injustices. This type of poetry is supposed to be an original piece, performed to evoke emotion and thought in its audience, with its rhythms and play on words.
