spoken word artists

Spoken word artists are performers who use the art of spoken language to express thoughts, emotions, and stories. Often blending poetry with storytelling, they emphasize rhythm, wordplay, and often social or personal themes. Performances can vary in style, ranging from dramatic to humorous, and are often delivered at events like poetry slams or open mic nights. This form of expression focuses on the sound and delivery of words, engaging the audience through both content and performance. Spoken word has roots in various cultures and continues to be a powerful medium for sharing contemporary issues and personal experiences.
