Spoken word is a literary-performance art. Original lyrics, poetry, or stories are spoken, possibly with music, though emphasis is kept on the speaker. The original work is written to be spoken rather than read on the page, and it is often political and social commentary, where again the art still outweighs the speechifying.

Attention sports fans, history buffs, culture vultures, and collectors of all stripes! The 5th annual LowCountry Habitat for Humanity Birdhouse Auction is bringing something new to the table this year: Celebrity Birdhouses.
