WHAT IS SPOKEN WORD POETRY?

Spoken word poetry is poetry intended for performance. With roots in ancient oral tradition, spoken word is characterised by rhyme and repetition, drawing on elements from the worlds of rap, hip-hop, and theatre. 

Spoken word is also a popular form to explore and amplify important messages of social justice and identity.
