Dead poets, deader poets, and deadest poets – you get the idea, looking for deceased poets (or was that parrots?) The Susquehanna University Slam Poets study and practice slam poetry, the equivalent of a graceful and powerful verbal slam dunk! Original works with a performance twist, a slam-wonderful combination!

Susquehanna University’s Slam Poets
October 1, 2015
Jerry Wemple
| THEME – Flow: The Rise and Fall |
One branch of Jerry Wemple’s family has lived in and around tiny Montour County since at least the mid-1800s. He supposes this may be partially responsible for his obsession with small towns along the Susquehanna. He continues to work on a series of narrative poems linked to 2013’s The Artemas Poems, which, oddly enough, are about people in small towns along the river.
