Poets in Recovery Slam "Mental Illness"!

Hi, I’m Carl and I’m in recovery from mental illness. My life took a leap forward at the Sacred Poetry Slam, January 8. Now, I’m trying to catch up with this review:

A slam is usually violent. So you might think a Sacred Slam is a contradiction in terms. But insert the word “poetry” and you have “Sacred Poetry Slam.” Poetry can unleash the sacred and absorb the pain of a slam. The result is creative energy.
