Taylor Mali

Video Find(s) of the Day

Taylor Mali is a former teacher and very successful slam poet. So successful that he now makes his living entirely as a spoken-word and voiceover artist. When I was looking for slam poetry videos today his kept showing up. He's avoids the deadlier mistakes that slam poets often make, the worst of which are the stereotyped sing-song delivery that doesn't adjust for the content, and the excessive self-centered whining. A little self-centered whining is wonderful, but a lot of slam poets go way overboard.

I can directly relate to what he says about teaching, having taught college math, and got the same treatment.
