I wonder if they realize that a lot of people hold them in the same regard as some that were mentioned.
*writes down all the names mentioned* Thanks for all the suggestions of things to read and listen to!
I absolutely adore Alysia Harris. Everything about her is just breathtaking
I'm so fascinated by Miles words in his poems, he takes you on a little story
I love Strivers Row, they taught me how to strive. Alysia, Miles, and Jasmine are my absolute favorites.
@Roshann Harris they mean the difference between written works and spoken word. Like when you read a Maya Angelou poem it has a strong impact bug to hear it read is theatrical and more in depth. Universal. To be able to take a work and speak it aloud, and for it to keep its impact, can be difficult for some if they aren't accustomed to writing for their works to be read aloud. Stage works are written specifically to be spoken so there are certain emotions, words, and pauses that are emphasized in order for the listeners to really feel what is being said as well as get the point clearly without seeing it on paper and pondering it.
love that carvs mentions Jive poetic. local influences in modern day are important to be recognized, like wednesday night slam would be completely different at nuyo without jive. love love love this.
Andrea Gibson, Anis Mojani, and Conor Oberst???? What?
ME TOO! Wow! Amazing. I am impressed!
But Other Than That, You Can See That Those Things That Influence Each Of Them Makes It Possible To Be Different & Diverse. The Way They Perform Is Just Great To Be A Collective.
She said tupac! I love her! my biggest influences are Malcolm X and Tupac
Alysia, Jasmine, and Miles are my favorites. And I also dig Nikki Giovanni like Zora.
Alysia and Zora are absolute PERFECTION
After watching this, I wished that every name of their influences mentioned, was written down somewhere so I too could be influenced by them. I love the strivers row.
I love how the last video Joshua was mentioned to be nerdy I myself am a little nerdy and hearing him say his influences was crazy because I've heard those names before Expecally anis I downloaded a few of that mans poems while I was in high school (just graduated) and he and Alysia where in a playlist I labeled poetry there where always on repeat. Funny how I also listen to Joshua. o.o
Yall influence me
I'm just mad at the fact that there's one thumbs down to this video.
Zora Howard is a freaking goddess,bruh
And I love Jasmine.
What do they mean by the page?
Writing vs speaking
Guess Miles Didn't Have Much To Say Eh? Lol
So Miles influences his self lol?
