Let Them Eat MoonPie is the oral (and other wise) history of the Southern Fried Poetry Slam from 1992, the year of its inception, through 2000 as experienced and recorded by Bill Abbott. Bill has been around Slam for A Long Time; as a matter of fact, he was around Slam in the Southeast, also known as Southern Fried, from 1992 to 1999. Around his moments of performing poetry, he took lots of notes and paid lots of attention. Over the last few years, he has taken those notes and done lots of interviews. The end result: Let Them Eat MoonPie, the first ever story of Southern Fried through the '90s. Part history, part memoir, part Southern study, part yearbook, this book collects the stories of the teams and poets who were involved in the most coherent regional scene in America. 273 pages with color pictures.
