    Will I Be Pretty?

    Katie Makkai, a veteran poetry slammer, defines ‘pretty’ in what only could be described as in an EPIC way.

    Most of us can relate to having insecurities about the way we look, especially growing up and attending school where the way we look defines the level of social acceptance we have.

    Katie takes us on a journey on how it is growing up trying to be society’s definition of ‘pretty’, and how it only breeds even more insecurities. Pretty darn amazing!

    “This is about the self-mutilating circus we have painted ourselves clowns in. About women who will prowl 30 stores in 6 malls to find the right cocktail dress, but haven’t a clue where to find fulfillment or how wear joy, wandering through life shackled to a shopping bag, beneath those 2 pretty syllables.”

    (VIDEO) A Controversial Poem on Rape

    Why so many Damn Rape Poems?

    This poem by Justice Hehir, Lindsey Michelle Williams, Kate Thomas, and Lillie Hannon is receiving quite a bit of heat on this controversial topic.

    It’s a powerful poem that says America needs to listen to as many rape poems as it takes, until they truly hear the pain and traumas of victims. Of course there are those who believe that what a woman wears and how she acts would change this anyway and the poets are quickly boxed as irrational ‘feminists’. Despite the positive and negative feedback this poem has gone viral and for good reason.

    “Our bodies were ours alone. If everyone knew what NO meant. If Budweiser stopped selling our bodies stretched across a six pack. If everyone would listen to THIS ONE.”
