Youth spoken word poetry groups are on the rise in the United
States, offering safe spaces for young people to write and perform.
These diverse groups encourage members to share their lived
experiences, decry injustices, and imagine a better future. At a
time when students may find writing in school alienating and
formulaic, composing in these poetry groups can be refreshingly
relevant and exciting. Listen to the Poet investigates two Arizona
spoken word poetry groups - a community group and a high school
club - that are both part of the same youth organization. Exploring
the writing lives and poetry of several members, Wendy R. Williams
takes readers inside a writing workshop and poetry slam and reveals
that schools have much to learn about writing, performance,
community, and authorship from groups like these and from youth
writers themselves.
