Hey! Way to go TIFFANI!

I just finished reading Ed's post over at Black Pearl Poetry re the iWPS Grand Slam. Sounds like it was an exciting night filled with poetry and poet comraderie. I'm still bummed I had to miss it, but I am totally psyched for Tiffani! She's been working her thing for the last few months and coming up with some hard-hitting, in your face poetry, and it looks like it served her well.

You rock, lady Tiff. I would have been cheering you on even if I had been in it! Have fun in Charlotte!
