Imagination + Writing + Performance + History + Storytelling

Editor: Sheri-D Wilson

This cutting-edge website will take your students on a journey of poetic discovery. Through one-on-one prompts, 27 well-known poets appear as pop-ups to give their lessons electronically.
The lessons include every aspect of Spoken Word: its History, Composition, and Performance in styles like Dub, Hip Hop, Jazz, Storytelling, and Slam.

We will continue to develop this site with monthly additions to keep it alive with playful new ideas and content.
