State of the Word: Asian American Spoken-Word Artists

Asian American spoken-word artists seek to claim not only auditory space and the literary page, but also dramatic space and the human body. They are loud, provocative, exciting, articulate and literary. They bring the word to the world, and we are bringing them to USC. Bao Phi, Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai and D’Lo represent a fresh, diverse generation of artists who give new expression to the Asian American experience. As entertainers, they rouse audiences; but they are all also socially committed artists whose provocative words engage a wide range of issues.
