Connor's guest is his improv mentor and fellow co-host of Poetry SLAMMED, Michelle Gilliam. They talk about Michelle's former career as a Slam Poet (if you can find videos of Sankofa's Energy, PLEASE SEND THEM OUR WAY), and the deceptively difficult Diamante form of poetry.
The example poem is an uncredited Diamante entitled "Smile/Frown"
Connor then reads his original poem "Verse/Prose", followed by Michelle's poem "Ocean/Breeze"
