Spoken word is usually not for us. Quality artists are few and far between, with most seeming to be about performing, rather than the words themselves. The artists add weight to dull selections through tone and inflection, but left alone on the page, their words become tepid.
Thankfully then, the Kelly Writers House is welcoming one of the premiere spoken word artists tonight, someone whose work is equally admired live as upon the page. A 4-time winner of the national poetry slam championship, voice-over artist, former teacher, and perpetual teaching advocate, Taylor Mali is sure to deliver a commanding performance to envigorate fans of spoken word, while converting any doubters.
