description: The history, the rules, organizing, performing, all these are the elements of a fascinating phenomenon known as "Slam Poetry." Designed and concocted more than 20 years ago in Chicago and what has come to be a "new American artform," slam poetry and poetry slams are lushly written about by veteran poet, Geof Hewitt. Vermont's 2004 state champion, Hewitt is a master of the game but reminds us that "the point is not the points, the point is the poetry."
