Lip Smack Spoken Word

Kim Roberts' "Lip Smack: A History of Spoken Word Poetry in DC," comprehensively documents the history of the performance art in the nation's capital -- but also in Baltimore. Lip Smack also features performances by brave slam poets. Side note: Yes, this is a photo of <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PEHST002107" title="Walt Whitman" href="/topic/arts-culture/walt-whitman-PEHST002107.topic">Walt Whitman</a>. And yes, he never did slam poetry. But if slam poetry had been around when he was, we'd bet Whitman would be on board. 5:30 p.m. Friday, Festival Stage, South Park
