So great hardly anyone is listening. That really is the sound of silence. It's a mad mad world. Then there's Kate shining the light in the darkness. Love it ♥️
Literally speaking, the term 'slam' doesn't refer to a style, but to an originally American poetry competition. It's come to be associated with a particular hip-hop inspired, rhyme-orientated style because that's what you hear at the vast majority of these events. Many other flavours of poetry are represented, just much less often. I don't mean to be anal, or put your point down, I'm just a passionate producer and consumer of spoken word, and enjoy furthering the discussion.
Saw her tonight - stunning. Just one thing - never add music. 90% of listeners won't hear the wonderful words, they'll just tap their toes and avoid thinking. These words should be heard not interred.

Incidentally, Kate is my all-time favourite lyricist of any sort.
Kate's verse is magical - sad, hopeful, gentle, strong. Love it love it!
Brilliant
From 5.26 onwards I was moved to tears. Raw talent. Such a beautiful soul.
'And even when nobody else does, I understand' Beautiful.
Such an old soul.

Why the heck doesn't she do music? This would be so much more awesome than it already is, with a beat to it.
