Summary/Abstract: The paper "The Status of Slam Poetry and Slam Poets in Macedonia" summarizes the history of the slam cultural scene in Macedonia – its beginning, progress and expansion. It provides an insight of the slam’s dynamics as a cultural scene, its characteristics as both literary and performing art, as well as the insight of the rules and regulations of the slam contests, both worldwide and nationally. The paper emphasizes the discussion of the status slam enjoys in Macedonia. It concludes that the official literary criticism has not directed its attention towards slam yet and invites it to do so.
