Being a book on spoken word and slam poetry I decided to pick up the Audiobook. The first chapter does a great job of briefly explaining spoken word in it's relation to poetry and elsewhere.

Then the poems begin and the feels kick in hard.

In regards to the profession of teaching from the poem Starfish

"A teacher once told me that this is the curse of direct service: we make a difference, just not enough of one."
