Rafael casal- def poetry season 4 (2004)



Uploaded by: rafaelcasal
Video Description:
Abortion poem. i wrote this poem about a week before the show, when i got the news from my girlfriend at the time. that was the first time i had read it aloud. i dont really perform it much because..... i dont want to fake the emotion. i love this recording because its sincerity on tape. most of the mothafuckas on that show are so rehearsed. Poetry is...at its best when its serving to provoke dialogue. conversation. it is the personal narrative for the public dispute.
"Rafael Casal-As Good As Your Word" Debut LP now available! Come check it out! http://www.myspace.com/thegetbackcrew

this mess is so true to my life right now. or more accurately, to my man's.. but imagine how hard it is being the female being told you're going to be raising the child all alone now because he's too scared to see that you're scared too, but together, you don't have to be. hope all worked out well for you and yours. great poem. peace.

As much as I like this show, you do get the feeling that a lot of the poets know that the audience is going to be supportive of the 'message' of their poem. That's why I like this, he's taking a risk and showing real emotion.
