Spoken word is a form of poetry that often uses alliterated prose or verse and occasionally uses metered verse to express social commentary. Traditionally it is in the first person, is from the poet’s point of view and is themed in current events.[1]
In entertainment, spoken word performances generally consist of storytelling or poetry, exemplified by people like Hedwig Gorski, the originator of performance poetry, the lengthy monologues by Spalding Gray, and improvising ranters/commentators like Henry Rollins.
