Product Description
"A dynamic and clarifying volume chock-full of fresh and informative commentary...and an exciting array of knock-out poems." -Booklist Starred Review "Accompanied by a terrific CD that showcases the great variety of styles performance poetry embraces, from the purest of recitations to seductive musical presentations, this dynamic anthology embodies the thrilling and mutually beneficial rapprochement between the traditionalists and the slammers, something that seemed about as likely 10 years ago as that proverbial cold day in hell." -Chicago Tribune The Spoken Word Revolution brings to life the written and performed works of more than 40 of the most influential slam, hip hop, performance art and contemporary poets in the world today. This defining collection of spoken word poetry captures today's electrifying words and voices, in text and immediately live on one audio CD.

Product Review Summary: Spoken Word I didn't like the audio CD. The book and the cd should be for $5.
Product Review Summary: Great book, with a great CD This book showcases a great variety of poetry styles, and includes a CD with about 40 tracks of authors reading their work. I use it to introduce poetry in my high school English classes. These poems evoke a wide range of emotions.
Product Review Summary: Spin poetry spin This is really an amazing book. The poets featured are some of the best in the genre, and though annoying to hear on the CD the commentary is really informative and enlightening.
A must have for any poet or musician that has any soul
Product Review Summary: Great for the classroom This book was a great resource for teaching poetry. It has good auditory poems but also has great poems in the book and a few good articles for journal reflections. My students loved it and it made poetry easy and exciting for them. I used it with Hip Hop Poetry and the Classroom and basically had a whole unit! A must get for Language Arts teachers.
