Seattle Poetry Slam - Matt Blesse "on korea"

Matt Blesse is a spoken word poet/activist from the small California mountain paradise, Truckee. He now resides in the Bay Area where he is a poet teacher under the Lyrical Minded 415 Program and a community organizer. He has been on two national poetry slam teams and was the Grand Slam Champion of the city of San Francisco in 2008. Most recently, as a part of Team SF, he placed 3rd in the nation at the National Poetry Slam. He thinks spoken word poetry is, at its most basic level, a conversation and, in the larger sense, a movement. As such, he seeks to keep his art relevant to and reflective of his experiences with oppression and transformation. www.seattlepoetryslam.org
