Poetry at the Grammy Awards

I only recently discovered that the GRAMMY Awards added a Spoken Word Poetry Album category. 

Most poets we know do not record albums of their poems, so it may not surprise you who has been nominated for the 2023 GRAMMYs (officially known as the 65th GRAMMY Awards) to be held on February 5, 2023.

The Best Spoken Word Poetry Album nominees (several of which are marked as explicit) for albums containing greater than 50% playing time of new spoken word poetry recordings are:

1. Black Men Are Precious, Ethelbert Miller
2. Call Us What We Carry: Poems, Amanda Gorman
3. Hiding In Plain View, Malcolm-Jamal Warner
4. The Poet Who Sat By The Door, J. Ivy
5. You Will Be Someone's Ancestor. Act Accordingly, Amir Sulaiman
