Synopsis

This book is the culmination of the author's decades-long study and practice of spoken word delivery. It presents a detailed theory and breakdown of what the author deems the 'Grammar of the Spoken Word' and 'Forms of Poetry', offering an accessible insight into the art of effective delivery. The author presents a method for understanding poetry and prose that emphasises the importance of vocal inflection, pauses, rhythm and colourisation. The book draws on a multitude of classic poems and literary works to illustrate the principles discussed, addressing everything from didactic to dramatic poetry, ballads and even children's verse. Above all, the book is rooted in the idea that delivery should be truthful to the speaker's understanding of the work, allowing the speaker to connect deeply with the ideas they present to an audience.
