I strayed from Shane Koyczan, this time I decided to pick a female, Jeanann Verlee. I found it funny that they were all love letters to someone she liked or dated. I liked that some of it was humorous while others where serious. I feel that with each person she said Dear to I felt I learned a little more about her and the person she was speaking about. I enjoy that at the end she ended it by slowly fading out. I am debating whether or not to look at more by her, but I am thinking about doing more about other female Spoken word Poets. I feel as though their aren't many and the ones that are performing should be given some spot light.
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.
