Is poetry fiction or non-fiction?

Poetry can fall into both categories. A poem can either be on an imagined topic of the authour's choice or on objects and happenings that are real, such as nature or life. More often than not though, poetry is simply categorized as poetry and then separated by length, subject or even the rhythm, prose and/or rhyme of the written/spoken piece.


What makes poetry slam different from poetry?

A poetry slam is a meeting and competition between poets who perform their own original modern work. The competition is typically held in a coffee house or small stage venue, but there are large annual nationwide competitions with audiences of thousands. The poetry at a slam is not necessarily different from that of 'regular' poetry, however, due to the nature of a poetry slam competition, often the poetry is more stylistically similar to a well composed rap, delivered emotionally and powerfully, rather than a recited couplet. This style is typically referred to as 'Spoken Word' type poetry, because the poems are meant to be received as a stage performance of the author rather than seen on the page, although there is often crossover. 'Modern' poetry typically means poetry written in the last 20 years that is NOT written to be performed as spoken word---often in this type of poetry, style matters more than aspects such as rhythm and rhyme, both of which are qualities of Spoke Word poetry (or Slam poetry) that are well received by a hip-hop influenced audience.
