Slam Poetry

Even if you travel halfway around the world, it seems you will always find a distant neighbor  just around the corner. While waiting in Taksim Square Wednesday night to meet a source,  we were approached by another American student from Detroit. His name is Kyle and he is a masters student at the Divinity School of Yale University. Studying religion and music, he also enjoys the spoken word, and gave us a preview of his slam poetry about male body image–a very marginalized subject in our society. It was powerful and refreshing to hear a male speak about this serious issue.
