I've never heard of Spoken Word poetry, but I kind of want to major in it now. She seems passionate, but also a bit saccharine. People who excessively make light of their childhood as something extremely foreign to them alarm me because its as if they somehow decide that being a grownup involves emotional repression. If I was in pain I'd prefer someone to be empathetic to me before they pulled out a "rainboots" quip. Worldviews that involve excessive moral implication without communicating the emotion involved in *deciding* to relegate one's world view to an either/or-positive/negative dichotomy (which I tend to believe is born out of avoidance of pain/slim coping options/isolation) strike me as somewhat lacking in dimension. In this case I would quote my old English teacher and say, show, not tell.
