i am IN LOVE with this girl! well, poetically, anyway. ;)
so vulnerable and soft, but not fragile.
she reminds me of a part of one of Nikky Finney's poems:
"How you do that, write like you never been hit before?"
certainly she's experienced pain and loss, but she writes as someone completely whole and undamaged. i'm inspired to seek that voice in myself.

Could someone tell me more about this girl? I want to do my English Paper on her but I can't find any information on her.
-
@speakeasynyc and I, being 21, feel so far behind.
-
"He will never marry her" the translator tells me after we have been driving for a few minutes in the dark, "Yes" I say, "But he can love her" <3
-
every time I watch her, I don't realise it, but a tear trickles down my cheek. she moves me.
-
Everytime I watch her perform and listen to her musical voice block out all painful noise my lungs detest. Not because the air is polluted but because every thought is to listen, to grasp her words and bury them deep with in my mind and somehow my brain forgot to tell me to breathe.

Shes brilliant..i know a lot of it is just original talent..but how does one get to that sort of talent at such a young age? Ive been totally ignorant to poeetry, but could sum1 give me a names of some books I could read on this sort of poetry or sumthing? because im guessing you get better at poetry by immersing yourself in it, and shes kinda inspired me, if not to start writing, then at least to appreciate more poetry out there. Any help would be great..thanks ^^

This type of poetry is called "Spoken Word" poetry, so in my opinion, it is better watched than read. Besides the poets posted on this speakeasynyc site, i should refer you the the urbananyc site which also has great poets performing. Please also check out the most famous of the spoken word venues; the Def Poetry series. Google that, and you can see fantastic performances by young & old, male & female, black & white. Enjoy the ride & thanks for viewing.
