Meet the poet, mod and working stiff for whom the everyday is political. Chip Hamer, aka Grim Chip, is a founder member of the Poetry on the Picket Line collective. When he's not pumping out internal rhymes through a megaphone, he might be pumping iron at the boxing gym or taking a poem for a 10 mile run to tone it up. Find out why he's lean but not mean.
