This ain’t poetry, Kalindra, this is real life.
Poetry slam is like Shakespearean style dialogue with a modern vocabulary and no need for euphemism or indirection. It’s informal, but clearly there’s a search for something profound. That kind of earnestness is pretty easily mocked. If you’re confident with your words, a little slip is doubly ridiculous. Add in the exuberant gestures and there’s very little room to maneuver. Things Never Said (2013), written and directed by Charles Murray, takes poetry as the centerpiece of a oft-told story of female infidelity. While the performances can sometimes turn into cold readings, the soulful characters give the trite the plot a little freshness.
