Every now and then, I stumble upon some poetry that blows my mind, that's too good to not share. There's a video that has been bombarding my Facebook wall for a few days now. I've lost count of how many times I've seen this video shared by my friends. In fact, you have probably already seen the video I'm talking about. The video in question was of slam poet Neil Hilborn performing his poem "OCD" in the finals of the 2013 Rustbelt Regional Poetry Slam.
"OCD"
My first reaction to this video was "wow, I wish I was there." I could almost feel the energy through the screen. Much of the poem's power comes from Hilborn's performance. My second reaction was "I need to find out more about this guy."
A quick google search led me to the publisher of his second chapbook, his Tumblr, and more great videos. I had a hard time deciding which other videos to share. Here are a few for your enjoyment.
