Watching this video reminds me of the 60's when this same exercise was performed on stage. Nothing new, nor nothing different about the execution of this revisited art form. The poets use of the english language was contemporary, in fact, towards the end there were a couple of poets who were actually interesting. The video is a bit long and the many poets that performed tended to sound the same, making this a bit of a tough watch. I got through it though so I guess you can say that it was not bad at all. So, into freelance poetry then check it out but be prepared to work hard at deciphering the good work from the not so good work.

For the most part the poetry was very good but the quality of the taping was poor.
