Poetry Slam Movement

Famous quotes containing the words poetry, slam and/or movement:

    “That’s why I quit and took up writing poetry instead.
    It’s clean, it’s relaxing, it doesn’t squirt juice all over
    Something you were certain of a minute ago and now your own face
    Is a stranger and no one can tell you it’s true. Hey, stupid!”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “It’s not a slam at you when people are rude—it’s a slam at the people they’ve met before.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Later
    Some movement is reversed and the urgent masks
    Speed toward a totally unexpected end
    Like clocks out of control.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
