Notes
- "Spoken word poetry is a cross-cultural phenomenon. Here for the first time in one volume are poems from the nation’s top spoken word artists. Listen Up! features nine award-winning scribes who have ignited audiences worldwide with their soulful verse, bold alliterations, and sultry fusion of rhythm and rhyme - electrifying audiences as they chant, sing, recite, and improvise their poetry and powerful point of view." "Listen UP! features profiles that offer insight into the tradition that made these poets masters of their craft. It also includes behind-the- scenes photographs and anecdotes about the history-making slams that established them as spoken word artists."–BOOK JACKET
