Poems and Poets and Other Histories We Should Know #2b

The last poem I posted was Chad Anderson’s “Like Math.” One of the things I want to emphasize is the need for growth and evolution so even though “Like Math” is several years old, it’s still his most requested poem, but it is not representative of who he is now or what he is writing now.

This is “Liars, All of Us,” probably his second most requested poem. It’s two years old so even this isn’t an accurate snapshot of where he is as a writer today, it’s important to note how slam and performance allow us to change both our writing and our delivery styles.
