The GotPoetry Vlog by Zork!
Posted by John on Friday, August 25, 2006 (17:17:06)
Now appearing on GotPoetry.com - a Video Log of poets performing and interviews with those poets. A blog in video format... whicked hard core exciting!
Eric Zork Alan is a National Slam Poet and author of "I am NOT a poet" and "Things to do with beer bottles." In this clip he features at one of NYC's hottest poetry venues and drops names of the likes of Phill Collins, Lili Taylor, Dobie Gray, Davie Jones, Peter Gallagher etc.
Why? Well, the poem tells all... When touring, this is always his opening poem. It's a great way to grab an audiences attention and start a set by interacting with them. It also steals a trick from Chaka Khan where at the end he has every one screaming out his name.
A fitting start to his GotPoetry.com column.
