40 years ago this month, Marc Kelly Smith took poetry out of quiet academic backrooms, threw it onto the smoke-filled stage of Chicago’s Green Mill, and handed the judgment directly to the crowd. On September 26, 2026, we mark four full decades of Slam Poetry—forty years of raw vulnerability, razor-sharp cadence, and the democratic power of the spoken word. To honor this milestone, the September edition of Poets You Should Know gathers three reigning titans of the form who carry that lineage forward with relentless fire, craft, and truth.
