Def Poetry allows all sorts viewpoints to be heard in a controlled atmosphere with artistic influence. Most of the artists included are indeed bright minds that are a thrill to watch. I think that I will purchase future seasons. In fact, I think that it is Season 5 that I enjoyed the most on HBO. LOP O VOP E!!

I love Def Poetry. I watch this DVD every chance I get. There are some singer/poets as well as some very profound and entertaining spoken word artist. I want to be just like them when I grow up.
