I love poetry. It is a passion that I try to keep to myself because I am so bad at writing poetry and feel completely incapable of articulating why I like certain poets or poems or styles or whatever. I just like reading and hearing people express their emotions in such an abstract way that is somehow so genuine and real. Recently I started watching a lot more def jam poetry videos, spoken word is a really cool way to connect with poets, watching them bring their life to work tells you a lot about them and what they are trying to express. Here are some of the videos I have gotten through so far and appreciated, they range from comical to heartbreaking, some make you laugh some will probably give you chills, I tried to start with the more light-hearted performances and end with the more serious ones. . .
"Asian Invasion"
"Gorgeous"
"Penny For Your Thoughts"
"Dear Father"
"First Writing Since"
"Knock Knock"
