“Hands” by Sarah Kay: Explication Spoken word poetry is meant to be performed, not simply just read from paper. Spoken word conforms and defies the standards of traditional poetry simultaneously: the same rhetoric devices can be found, but there is much more creative space for the speaker because of the lack of a strict form (Olson).
