To see Marc Smith (so what?!) read poetry is to fall in love. Except he doesn't "read" so much as he stomps, flails, howls and flings his poems headlong from the tiny stage at The Green Mill in Chicago.
His poems on the printed page are, without the voice and the man and the stage presence, much more static. But there is an echo there of the man who speaks, and it's well worth reading. If you're in Chicago, be sure to stop in at The Green Mill some Sunday night for the (original!) poetry slam. There's never a dull moment. Especially when Marc's behind the mic.

The father of Poetry Slam!! This poet's juxtaposition of blue collar life and urban cadence makes him one of the immortals of the late 20th century.

quand chaque poème a son histoire,
en anecdotes ou confidences,
il y a - entre les lignes - les odeurs et les bruits,
le jazz et les sifflements.
une scène imaginaire où le livre se déroule.
vivant.
