BusBoys and Poets

Spoken word is a very empowering form of art it allows the performer to communicate with a mass audience. The performer that I enjoyed the most was Ebony. You could tell that her poetry came from a very real place and the it was a means for her to get her voice across. Her poetry concentrated heavily on women and the issues that they face. Her performance was interesting because it was very descriptive. She also made it funny. The clit poem was my absolute favorite because it was insightful,creative, daring and funny. The way that she preformed also made a difference her presences and the way that she spoke was sure to keep your attention. She used different voice inflections to stress certain points and hand gestures to convey certain feelings. Her facial expressions also helped to convey her message it told the story just as much as her mouth. Busboys and poets is a great restaurant and i plan to visit again.
