Slam Poetry and Spoken Word
Hello fellow Bri's Bookers!
Slam Poetry and Spoken Word are two of my favorite things and today I would like to share it with you all. I personally love spoken word poetry and slam poetry because I feel like it allows me to embrace the poetry on a more personal level when it is being performed by someone. I am able to feel and see and hear all of the raw emotion coming (usually) directly from the person who wrote it.
I discovered spoken word poetry when I was a freshman in high school and my English teacher showed me "To This Day" by Shayne Koyczan. The video was to teach the class about prejudice and the dangers of being prejudiced. The video was phenomenal and I have been hooked on spoken word ever since. Today I would like to share that video with you. I will try to share a new video every week.
Please keep in mind that this video has some dark and depressing things that may be more suitable for an audience that is a little bit older. I would recommend at least 13 years of age.
