In Rhyme’s Challenge: Poetry, Hip Hop, and Contemporary Rhyming Challenge, I argue that hip hop has influenced a new generation of American poets. This influence continues to grow stronger and more prominent. For instance, the current issue of Poetry excerpts poems and essays from the recently published anthology, The BreakBeat Poets, edited by Kevin Coval, Quraysh Ali Lansana, and Nate Marshall.

Oh, Heidi! I'm so sorry to hear that. Involuntary transfer -- #$*&($&*#(*^@!
Heidi,
I'm sorry to hear your bad news. I hope things will look up for you soon.
