Rowan AtkinsonThere is no one who can stop you; you find a mic, a crowd, a set of ears, and nowadays, a camera and YouTube, and you recite your poem. You have your say. I don't want to over-romanticize it: of course, any time an art form ascends, especially when competition is involved, there will be gatekeeping, chauvinism, and other unfortunate dynamics. But the beauty of spoken word and performance poetry is, by and large, its ability to reach people in the moment - right there, right then.

The Independence Party is helping to build that coalition and I am happy to join you in doing so.

And that's really frustrating at times.
Coco HoIn 2008 I didn't take it all in enough. I was so wrapped up in just the competition that I missed what was going on around me.
