As I was doing research and looking for poetry online for my honors option I came across this New York Times article about young Native Americans competing in a poetry slam in Washington, DC. It talks about how the slam competition usually only includes "urban" poetry, but this year these young Native Americans have found inspiration in poetry. I thought it was pretty interesting.
