In the News: Slamming The Globe — Def Poets Go International
"Russell Simmons expands his media empire ever larger, this time in the world of slam poetry. Simmons initially brought the to American premium-cable channel HBO with the humbly titled Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, and subsequently staged live versions of it in San Francisco and New York," Clandestino writes. "The Broadway production was widely praised as groundbreaking among New York's jaded theater critics, going on to win a Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event. Simmons is now planning on publishing a book of poems by the live cast, a follow up to Def Poetry Jam's prior release Bum Rush the Page, and the cast of the Broadway production will soon be touring across the United States and the U.K.
Yet another sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan, my 2nd book in the making.
say umaanlong et alioan dyus
ono makapanyarin anito
ya pantelekteleken to'y mundo
ed mangaraldalin a salita
no ag ta sakey a gumagaoa
atomo'd molikiular ya mundo
tan sakey a bengat la ya bosis
dia ed dinidyus ya uniberso
say umaanlong et tagaumen
dia'd banoa'y salita tan balikas
nipanon ya oala'y kakabatan
ed mistirio ton nia'y sansinakub
bang balet alioan sakey a dyus
ono makapanyarin anito
