Spoken word poetry event draws audience
A Spoken Word Poetry Jam, sponsored by the UWRF
Black Student Union, drew students to the UC Thursday evening. The
event featured Frank Sentwali, a Twin Cities spoken word artist, and an
open microphone segment. According to Wikipedia, spoken word is a style
of performance poetry that began in New York City and became popular in
the early nineties. Unlike previous styles of poetry, spoken word is
usually written with the intention of being performed. It emphasizes
the tone of the human voice, which adds another layer of meaning for
interpretation. For
