What is a spoken word artist?

A spoken word artist is a type of performance artist who uses spoken words, poetry, and storytelling as their primary form of expression. They often perform in front of live audiences at cafes, bars, clubs, and other spoken word events. The content of their work can range from personal experiences, social and political commentary, humor, and social justice issues. Spoken word artists also incorporate rhythm, intonation, and other musical elements to enhance the performance. Many spoken word artists have gained recognition for their work in poetry, literature, and the arts, and their work is often published in anthologies, literary magazines, and online platforms.
