For some, the act of prosody is one best conducted under dark of night, a wee-hour's dare that urges words forth through the sheer power of desperation, deprivation, or solitude. For others it is a meticulously mathematical balance between form and function. For Zell Miller III, the act of versification is proof that not only can lightning strike in the same place twice but in more than one place at the same time. Writer-poet-performer-director, Miller defies prediction. He's a high-pressure system of regale force intensity, and the proof is in the name-dropping: Sweatt Symposium Slam UT, International Poetry Slam, National Slam Team, opening for Nikki Giovanni, and SXSW with DJ Brainchild, The Heretic Chronicles Volume 1 on CD. His work is included in the upcoming anthology of hip-hop theatre published by TCG, Plays From the Boombox Galaxy. When audiences hear that Zell Miller III on the radar, they'd better batten down the hatches and make a beeline for the eye of that storm.
