Spoken Word Poetry

Rhymes Without Music Regain Popularity

— October 27, 2007 — Tech
Spoken word poetry performances are coming back! The poetry of John Cooper Clarke is used to pacify an assembly of punk rockers in the late seventies in the heart of the Manchester music scene in the movie Control, while the rock band Joy Division waits nervously backstage. It's an awesome scene and very inspirational!

It's brilliant actually; John Cooper Clarke's poem 'Evidently Chickentown' is absolutely amazing and I do believe this scene will set a trend for more spoken word poetry in pubs and cafes in North American cities. The movie Control is powerful stuff too. The movie is about the life of Ian Curtis, the suicidal lead singer of Joy Division - who knew he had epilepsy? Watch this movie and polish up your poems.





Trend Themes
1. Spoken Word Poetry Performances - The rise of spoken word poetry performances in pubs and cafes is an opportunity for poets and artists to showcase their work and reach new audiences.
2. Revival of Poetry in Music Scenes - The increasing importance of poetry in music scenes creates opportunities for collaborations between poets and musicians, leading to new and innovative forms of artistic expression.
3. Poetry in Film - The portrayal of poetry in films, such as 'Control,' may inspire a new generation of poets and lead to greater appreciation and discussion of the art form.
Industry Implications
1. Arts and Culture - The growth of spoken word poetry and its integration into various forms of art and culture provides opportunities for individuals and organizations to invest in and support the development of new and emerging artists.
2. Entertainment and Media - The incorporation of spoken word poetry into various forms of entertainment, such as film and music, provides opportunities for companies and organizations to innovate and reach new audiences.
3. Hospitality and Tourism - The rise of spoken word poetry performances in pubs and cafes provides opportunities for businesses in the hospitality and tourism industry to attract new customers and create unique experiences for their guests.
