S.A. Griffin at EZTV’s "Boss Poetry" Series, 1987

S.A. Griffin & Michael J. Masucci

"Boss Poetry" was a series of live poetry events at EZTV. Produced by poet/actor/singer S.A. Griffin and Michael J. Masucci, it highlighted many diverse talents from LA's burgeoning spoken word scene. Long before 'poetry slams' became popular, this series of evening-length events anticipated the more popular acceptance of live poetry performance nationwide.

In this brief clip, Griffin performs a short poem and then begins to sing some blues with an accompanying band.
