There’s a kind of joy and an electric energy that comes from poetry, even when it’s hard-hitting and the subject matter oft-times covered in darkness. Its modern incarnation, the art of “spoken word”, is a fusion of poetry and performance that draws on rhythms of the street and the culture of urban America. Some call it a “revival” of the Beat Era of the ’50s, with poetry and spoken word making a comeback in nightclubs and coffeehouses of America’s big cities. This organic, raw verse continues its evolution, in the documentary feature film, “SP!T”.
