"I also think you certainly can perform any poem. But what I believe is that the best examples of spoken word poetry I’ve ever seen, are spoken word poems that, when you see them, you’re aware of the fact they need to be performed. That there’s something about that poem that you would not be able to understand if you were just reading it on a piece of paper. Some element of the performance that brings more meaning to the words. And sometimes it’s just one tiny moment, and sometimes it’s the entire poem."
