I enjoyed Steve Lowery's article concerning the poetry slam in Laguna Beach ("Iambic Pentathlon," June 11). He should have quoted e.e. cummings, who said, "all men lead lives of quiet desperation." The slam poets are being anything but quiet or desperate, and I applaud them for doing their part in keeping the spoken-word tradition alive in Orange County and throughout the nation.

Thank you for the great article. Maybe next time, Victor D. Infante can cover a football game.
