Spoken Word Poetry
Spoken word poetry is a form of poetry that is meant to be performed aloud rather than simply read on a page. It often involves the poet delivering their work in a dynamic and expressive manner, using rhythm, intonation, and gestures to convey emotion and meaning. Spoken word poetry can cover a wide range of topics and styles, from personal experiences and social issues to political commentary and cultural observations. It’s a powerful medium for artists to engage with audiences directly and create a vivid, immersive experience through the spoken word.
