Not sure if I know how to do this right. I absolutely love spoken word poetry and I have several favorites. I love the ones posted here already! Today, I'll stick with Shane Koyczan. He is just...amazing.

Shane Koyczan was actually the first spoken word I ever heard! I loved his words so much I almost shed a tear.

Shane is actually dangerous for me to watch/listen to around anyone that I don't mind being all sniffly in front of. I like to say that his poems can absolutely destroy you, and then put you back together again.

Probably the best way to explain his spoken word xD

Some of my favorites:(NSFW)

Anis Mojgani: He has this amazing childlike quality. He reminds me a little of the original beat poets.

 

Derrick Brown: As for as the actual writing goes in the spoken word genre (I have a few of his books), Brown is on the top. And impeccable delivery, beautiful.

 

Guante: Maybe not the soul lifting amazingness of the other two, but has some very cool stuff. Check out Love in the time of Zombies. He does great social activist work.

 

 

AND if any of you spoken word enthusiasts write yourself, I invite you to join
