I'm part of a group of poets with the mission of spreading spoken word out of the underground and into spaces where it can be enjoyed by everyone. So many people have never heard of spoken word when I tell them about it, which I think is very unfortunate, because it is such a powerful art.
What do you think needs to happen, or what can poets do, to help spoken word see the light? How do we get it out of the underground slam scenes and into spaces where everyone can enjoy poetry how deserves to be enjoyed?
