A truly inspiring and underrated art form, spoken word has slowly crept up in popularity over the years. While bigger names like Saul Williams are easy to name drop, folks like Carlos Andrés Gómez, Buddy Wakefield, Derrick Brown and Anis Mojgani have been dominating the spoken word scene for years. This years Junkyard Ghost Revival tour is a verbal onslaught on the senses. It touches on emotions that stay hidden within us and bitch slaps them with brutal honesty. This performance poetry bonanza has already touched down on a few cities in the past months, so be sure to catch this rare and free occasion.
