Aloud : voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe

Review

This vibrant collection of poems has its roots in the spoken word movement of the early 90s, a revitilization of poetry that today may seem almost common place. Slam poetry and spoken word trips off the tongue, rocks out of the body, vibrates in your soul. These poems are meant to be eaten alive, read them aloud shout them from corners, go and write your own and make them rocket off the page and into the ear. Viva poetry!
