Exam, Chera Broadnax

Van Gogh, Rachel R. Mantos

Poetry Slam 2021

"Van Gogh" is a personal response to the way I've seen depression and mental illness affect many artists I look up to and how they dealt with these issues through their art. I've dealt with this for many years myself and reached a point where I didn't want to be surrounded in sadness and negativity, and wanted to remember that while it can be cathartic and helpful to write about our pain, it's important not to lose sight of all the beauty and joy in life as well, which is just as valuable subject material.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned, Rachel R. Mantos

Poetry Slam 2021

"Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned" was an exploration of female anger and an experiment with the sonnet form of poetry.

"Definitions" is a poem that was written the morning of the slam and I also use the theme of the slam to guide me.

Skills, Iris (Pettie) Perkins

Poetry Slam 2021

"Skills" is a poem that was written the night before the slam. I looked up the word "resilient" and I just wondered how I could convey that everyone can be resilient, it just takes baby steps and small victories.
