I thought this poem was going to be about Shane Koyzcan so when it started with him speaking a poem I was shocked so I listened. I didn't write this until after I listened to it four times. I realized it switched between him speaking about why education is important and there are moments when he is doing a spoken word poem. I could tell the difference because his voice changed from personal to "on stage". I like that it's a sit down conversation and he's not on stage speaking into a poem. I find it amazing that he values teachers so highly, I do too, but there are people who don't, they feel are people that "those that can't" I like that Koyczan doesn't think that way, he in fact believes that teacher should be revered and respected because he wouldn't know what he does today without those teachers. This was a more relaxed view of Shane Koyczan and I feel like I know him now because of this interview.
Words are powerful when written down, but even more so when they are spoken. Shane Koyczan, a native Canadian, is a spoken word poet. I will share with you his poems and what I take from them. Spoken word has been around for many centuries and usually focuses on the words themselves and the way they sound, the gestures that a person uses with the words, and facial expressions. It brings feelings back to words in a society where technology has muted them.
