Ginsberg's Performance Poetry: The Effect of Transformation of Spoken Words on the Development of the Performance

Performance poetry, in general, is a multifaceted field: a varied art form that emerged from many different traditions. The main conception of oral poetry that can describe this poetic technique is spoken-word poetry. Performance poetry and spoken word have to incorporate into groups with much broader definitions of spoken poetry. One of the most visible conceptions of performance poetry is the poet's presence at the place of performance. It is argumentative because the poet assumes authorship and responsibility for the poem by performing it in front of his audience. The following study examines the effect of spoken word poetry on the development of performance. Also, this study reveals that the use of spoken word poetry on the stage impacts the development of the poet's performance. Allen Ginsberg is one of the most well-known poets who innovated in this field. Other poets are changing the genre by using their voices as their medium. The audience finds Ginsberg's feeling of presence to be inspirational. This study explores spoken word poetry's capacity to stimulate transformation by addressing urgent social issues. One conclusion that could come out of this research is that while the spoken word is a tool for creative expression, it may also serve as a medium as a channel for internal representation, which could ultimately lead to social action and change. The spoken word in this research illustrates the poet's ability to integrate performance with poetic literature.
