Talk:List of performance poets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WayneRay 01:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)WayneRay so is the list of dead links, anyone can make up a name, if they are real poets they should have a link or an article about them or should be deleted or at least the dead link deleted.

[edit] there is a diffrerence between performance artists Laurie Anderson and Vito Acconci, Beat poets, spoken word, which is a broader category that include theater monologues

Let these separate categories remain separate from each other and performance poetry to allow them all to develop. Joining them together, I fear, will muddy the separate and distint definitions that print encyclopedias try to make clear and define exactly. We should aim to do the same. Let the experts help to create the listings for these very different newer genres. We can keep an eye on inferior text and inaccuracies. Lumping things together is probably premature. Thanks. What do you think? (artpoetry 19:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC))

As stated there are differences between the recordings of Burroughs, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Jello Biafra but these are all essentially the work of performence poets, whom upon creativing those distinct and differing works, i believe, would have considered their work to be principally Spoken Word & Performence Poetry. The differences are as genres of music & style not of artform. the list is outdated for New Zealand and does not include Wellington's Word Collective [1] or Auckland's The Literatti [2]Literartist (talk) 05:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)--
