Spoken Word: A Cultural History

What better way to learn about the history of the art form of spoken word than to hear it? This award-winning audiobook traces the history of performance poetry from its origins in Black communities to its growing influence in American education, the arts, social justice and beyond. It is narrated by the poetry slam-winning author and scholar with a lyrical cadence, which is most gripping when his narrative reveals his own personal journey with the craft.
