The people who invented poetry aren't welcome.
This is a story about less than 10 people.
Just say you are indigenous or black. Race is a social construct. It's not DNA.
Poetry slam will be filled with dramatic shouting of unskilled free verse that promotes marxism and LGB+
But if one wanted free entry just claim to be 50% First Nations.
Poetry slam is possibly the cringiest form of live performance imaginable.
Think rapping but with no beat, no cadences, no dynamics and most importantly no fun. Imagine crossing the brain of a early 2000s emo teenager with the Frankfurt School, giving them a mic and instructions to complain as loudly and quickly as humanly possible and then putting them on a stage with 5-10 liberal arts students in attendance.
This is slam poetry.
