Review of Slip of the Tongue


Program Directors looking to bring fresh voices to the air during Poetry Month or the upcoming Public Radio Collaboration on Globalization will delight in the rhymes flowing from Adriel Luis, a finalist at the Youth Speaks Grand Slam Poetry Finals in San Francisco.

I'll tell you about my ethnic makeup
I wear the foundation
layed by my indigenous poeple...

Luis' lyrical talent is impressive, his delivery self-assured, his narrative something we all want and need to hear on the air.
