William Blake, Charles Bukowski, Walt Whitman, James Joyce, Robert Frost. One thing these names have in common was their talent in the art of written word. Poetry is a delicate form of spoken word that has mainly influenced the music scene; and this is mostly apparent in the hip hop music scene.
Inspired by Def Poetry Jam, a series of poetry performances produced by Russell Simmons, Raising the Bar (RTB) will be hosting one of their very own poetry, twice a month. In partnership with Numinous KL, the best of local hip hop and poetry scene will be sharing the stage to bring you the Raising The Bar Poetry Jam on 18th August 2013 at The Bee, Publika.
Hosted by Jin Hackman, Mr. Dan and Sheena Baharudin, the RTB Poetry Jam will be something worth checking out, especially if you’ve always loved the amalgamation of music and literature.
