Wess “Mongo” Jolley’s fantastic archive, The Performance Poetry Preservation Project, has a copy of the NPS 2011 Sampler CD. I’ve mentioned in bios for journals from time to time that I was on a CD handed out to all the participants of the 2011 National Poetry Slam, and I just realized/discovered I can point to evidence of it. I wish I’d been able to capitalize better on that appearance, but this was the year we moved to rural Tennessee, and I forcibly dropped out of spoken word scenes for years afterwards.
