@Comrade, wow sorry end of class typos.I wish this was in print. Because it would be an amazing oral interp peice. oral interp is where you take a peice of lititure and perform it without costumes or props and by your self. Poetry is my class of interp.
Spoken word is poetry intended for onstage performance rather than exclusively designed for the page - there are many spoken word artists/performers worldwide, like in the US!:)
