"Spoken word poetry. An art that old Arabic writers used to challenge and determine each other’s wit and intelligence. The type of poetry that is more hip than traditional poetry and just as engaging as its cousin Rap. But spoken word poetry is an art form that, through verse and sound, nurses the personal into the profound. It creates a space for exchange, and in doing so, spoken word poetry urges participation. So, if you vibe with something you hear, feel free to grab your fingers and start snapping."
