I was introduced to the work of spoken word poet Amena Brown at a Gungor concert the other weekend. Both artists are fantastic, but I highly encourage you to check out some of her work. To whet your appetite, here is a bit of what grabbed my attention:
This second video is an adaptation of her poem "You." See another version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATowY8fuAEY. Or her poem, The End, is also pretty great. Really, just check out all of her stuff :)
