Conclusive Talk w/ Bob Holman

September 18, 2011


To round up our exploration of performance poetry and related genres, we sat down again with our primary host Bob Holman, who had been assisting us all throughout and in this last interview once again added a great deal to our knowledge and understanding of the evolution of the spoken word and performance poetry scene in the United States.

We talked about Bob's first encounter with poetry, the beginnings of slam poetry, the Nuyorican, the Bowery, about the digital age, about slam and hip-hop, about slam and music, about his visit to Hungary and more..
