Synopsis

For a long time, poetry was remembered as an art appropriated and monopolized by the economically and socially dominant classes, often used as a mere exercise in dilettantism. However, it is forgotten that even in these moments, poetry remained a phenomenon of popular resistance, whether in the verses of cordels or in popular declamations. And if poetry in Portuguese, especially Brazilian, has established itself on the world stage with big names in the most diverse currents, a new wave of poets has been gaining prominence with their verses created to be recited, and not just written. The metric is no longer the focus to the detriment of the message, which is not intended to merely entertain, but to scratch the public's eardrums, denouncing what is happening in the small alleys of the Brazilian outskirts. This book shows more than the talent of its authors, it brings denunciations in the form of verses, protests in the form of art. This is slam, a form of expression of the anxieties that hurt our society, in general, and our youth, in particular.
