We are all constantly impacted in one way or another by the power of words. From advertisements to novels, speeches and song lyrics – whether good or bad, we experience words every day that affect us. Today, there are so many talented people around the world using words to push for change. One of them is Kuala Lumpur’s text-based artist Trina Teoh, who we’ve been lucky enough to interview here.
As a songwriter, I’m always inspired by artists who use words as their medium, so here I’m spotlighting five of my favourite spoken-word poets – I hope you enjoy their work as much as I do.
