I'll Have a Medium, Please - Episode 4 - The Spoken Word!

Young Media Critics presents: 

I'll Have a Medium, Please ---The Spoken Word! 

What is spoken word poetry?

"Spoken word poetry is poetry that is written on a page but performed for an audience. Because it is performed, this poetry tends to demonstrate a heavy use of rhythm, improvisation, free association, rhymes, rich poetic phrases, word play and slang. It is more aggressive and “in your face” than more traditional forms of poetry."
