I find it nothing short of neccisary for me to have my first post be about a piece by Anis Mojgani. He is a back to back National Individual Poetry Slam Champion (2005-2006), as well as the winning the championship at the World cup Poetry Slam (2007), in France. When asked in an interview after his victory in 2007 about what it takes to preform a good spoken word peice he replied, "...Having the courage to be vulnerable. Having an honest and organic connection to your work. Not forcing anything. Make it interesting...." Anis Mojgani more than lives up to those requirements, when you see him preform you have no other option than being sucked into every word he says and listening to the music they seem to form.
I hope you enjoy the work of this amazing artist as much as I do.
