A Month of Sundays: Monday April 2nd
My dear LaLa is a huge fan of today's poet, Karen Finneyfrock, and her raving about her made me check what all the fuss was about. I think of KF as my gateway into the fabulousness of Slam Poetry. This powerful piece, "Damaged Girl," sat in my head for a long time after I first heard it and I hope it does for you, too. She blogs at -- where else? -- Karen Finneyfrock's Blog.

Wow! That makes me sad for I have seen so many of these girls in my everyday life. The laughter from the audience was inappropriate. Instead of judging them we should be asking "how can I help?"
ReplyDeleteI think it can be difficult for the audience to see where she's going with something like this because she can be really funny. I get what you're saying, though, there were really inappropriate moments of laughter there. Thanks for commenting!
