Burning Down the House: Selected Poems from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe National Slam Champions
"Faced with the surging popularity of spoken word and the poetry slam, The Academy of American Poets, long known for its gala reading series, was forced in 1995 to reevaluate its approach to their mission of creating a wider audience of contemporary poetry."
"After a year of planning, the Academy launched National Poetry Month in April of 1996."
