Slamma Lamma Ding Dong is the combined effort of thirty-five of Nebraska's slam poets.
Appealing to fans of both the written and spoken word, it gives voice
to the rich culture, the wild imagination, and the diverse spirit of the plains. — from the publisher
Magic is what poetry is about. Magic can and does happen on the page, but the connection slams allow between poet and audience is both larger and more personal
than the printed word. And it’s reassuring, in a new century and millennium, to see that most ancient of the literary arts, poetry, return to its oral roots.
When it comes to slams, poetry is the winner. — from the essay "Downtown Slam" by JV Brummels
