Slam poetry is poetry in an oral interpretation form. It's free verse or talk that emerges from the poets' original work. It's recited and brought to the stage by the author without music, accessories or costumes. Normally the subjects or topics are "from the street."
Muchos poetas que escriban Slam no publican sus trabajos porque no son completos sin la interpretación como es leer una obra de teatro.
También el slam es un torneo de poetas en los que se enfrentan mediante las notas de un jurado seleccionado del público. No está metida en el formato de las estrofas clásicas. De hecho, nos dijo el anfitrión, "Evalúa con el corazón, y no con la mente".
Many poets who write Slam don't publish their work because they aren't complete without the interpretation which is something like reading a piece of theatrical art without a script.
Also, Slam is a tournament of poets in which they compete against one another in a jury selected by the public. The poems are not measured in the classical sense or by the types of lines but rather, the host told us, "Judge with your heart, not your mind."

El formato del torneo fue inspirado en el boxeo. Se hace por rondas donde cada poeta tiene tres minutos para declamar su poema. Interpretan su poesía y los que reciben las mejores notas del público, pasan a la segunda ronda.
The tournament format was inspired by boxing. There are rounds in which each poet has three minutes to recite his poem. They all recite their poems and those that receive the highest marks from the audience go on to the next round.
El Slam es un formato de recital que implica al público. El participante como público pisa fuerte con los pies y chasquea los dedos cuando oye algo realmente bueno, algo que yo siempre decía a mis clases de literatura, líneas doradas. Además de los poemas memorizados y recitados, se celebra a micrófono abierto la poesía hablada espontánea por cualquier persona poeta. El público, entonces, se implica en tres formas - forma el jurado, responde al poeta con signos con los dedos y pies, y el micrófono abierto hace que todos tengan la oportunidad de recitar.
A Slam is a forum of performance that involves the public. The participants in the audience stomp the floor and snap their fingers when they hear something really good, something that I called in my literature classes, golden lines. Besides the memorized and recited poems, it's a celebration of spontaneous open mic (microphone) by any poet or poetess. The public then, then, is involved in three ways - it forms the jury, it responds to the poet con signals using fingers and feet, and the open mic allows anyone to have the opportunity to recite.
And I quote from our San Diego Slam, when there with my so beautiful daughter, some of my own "snaps" (finger snapping) for poetesses Celisse, Chyanne, Carla and more:

*He is every tear that is etched in your memory
*Your every imperfection in no mistake
*You struck a flint against my heart like fire.
*Handle with care, my heart is not just for everyone's touch.
*I'm so sick of rolling dice that don't belong to me
*You don't have to be whole to be beautiful
*The taffy stretching of my limbs, ... the molasses walk through the sad
*Even the most delicate of roses need sharp petals to survive.
*I've seen way too many people who know how to overdose on every emotion but happy.
