Publishers Summary

 

The Spoken Word encompasses many movements, yet all share a common credo – namely, that the poetry is meant to be performed in front of an audience. While no one could claim to have the "definitive" collection of slam, hip hop, and other spoken word styles – the art form is still evolving – this recording aims to introduce you to the art with a diverse array of extraordinary talent.

Featuring poems/performances by Taylor Mali, Nuyorican Cafe Poetry Slam founder Bob Holman, poetry slam creator Marc Smith, U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins, New Line Cinema star from the feature film Love Jones Regie Gibson, Patricia Smith, Cin Salach, and star of Lord of the Rings Viggo Mortensen. Check out the sample, "Television" by Todd Alcott to get a feel for the style.

The 256 page bound companion edition of The Spoken Word Revolution: Slam, Hip Hop & The Poetry of a New Generation (ISBN 1-4022-0037-4, $24.95), complete with CD, is available where you buy books.
