DEF POETRY JAM NEEDS TO COME BACK


And Ishle Yi Park needs to perform at Manhattanville. She is a beautiful poet and singer whose name means morning dew in Korean. She is currently living in Hawaii but was once living in NY. She is the former Poet Laureate for the borough of Queens, a position Rev Run applied for in 2004. Poets Laureate are appointed by the Librarian of Congress. They are given the role of raising the status of poetry in the everyday life of the American public. She has performed her poetry and songs across the US, Cuba, Singapore, Korea, and South Africa. She has opened for such artists as KRS-One, Ben Harper, De La Soul, and Saul Williams. Let me just say SHE IS THE FUCKING SHIT.

I don't know whaaaaattt I like best about the following video. Is it the fact that this literally made me laugh out loud? Is it the fact that she takes a little bow at the end then giggles as if it was her first performance? Ishle Yi Park chose absolutely the correct hairstyle for this performance. Long pigtail braids. How adorable. I was NOT expecting her, as innocent and pure as she looked to go on about her 'poor little pussy'. And she's not talking about a new kitten. She wants a 5 star dick with room service and 'mutha fuckin' Alize'. PLEASE tell me you didn't laugh at this.
