A Bigger Boat chronicles the Albuquerque Slam Poetry scene's growth and success at the 2005 National Poetry Slam competition, which it hosted and won. This collection of poems and personal memories explores Slam from the voices of the poets who began developing the Albuquerque scene in 1990 to poets who witnessed and celebrated the 2005 hometown victory.Despite Slam's big city origins and arguments that smaller urban areas could not garner enough community interest to host national events, the Albuquerque event proved skeptics wrong. The swell of excitement so exceeded expectations that Danny Solis urged fellow organizers, 'We need a bigger boat!'The editors of A Bigger Boat gathered the works of wellknown local and national poets to provide a window into the world of competitive poetry, where verse meets performance.A CD with performances by many of the poets recorded at Albuquerque poetry slam events is included.
