Remembering Mary (Phil Ginsburg)
EDITOR'S PICK: Shake the Dust (Anis Mojgani)
The Mission of Slam Poems is 1.) to showcase great slam poetry, and 2.) to create awesome conversations.
For these purposes, I frequently post examples of the best slam poetry performances that I have come across. This is a means of inspiring the slampoems.com community.
This slam poem model of excellence is called “Shake the Dust” by Anis Mojgani. I was inspired by the ferocious hopefulness, and the precision of delivery in this piece. I also appreciated how he crosses lines by delivering a message of hope to people on opposing sides of the equation: the bullies and the bullied, etc.
The site thrives on engagement from the slam poetry community.
We’d love to hear your comments on this one. What can be learned from this poet?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Powerful poem. Effective, abrasive. Makes me flinch just watching it. Great impact and creative presentation.
