Recap: Giles Li
On Thursday, April 5, 2007, Giles Li, a spoken word performer from Boston, showcased his form of art at Northeastern University. The event was sponsored by the university’s first and only Asian-interest fraternity Pi Delta Psi. Over the past few weeks, Giles Li has been performing all over the United States. If one were unfamiliar with Giles Li or spoken word, this was a great place to start to learn and be captivated by this style of music.
The small setting created an intimate feeling between the audience and Giles. Laughter filled the room the entire night, but serious issues were addressed through Giles’ words. From “The Worst Poem in the World” to the poem dedicated to the life of Anna Nicole Smith simply named “Anna Nicole,” the audience was interested in every word that Giles had to say. The most inspiring part of the night occurred when Giles performed the piece “Women.” The poem was about “the woman who gave life and the woman who gave meaning to life.” After the conclusion of that poem, it inspired yours truly to pick up his phone and call his mother. The performance concluded with a loud and fun interaction with the audience saying “WHAT, OKAY and YEAH.” It was a fitting conclusion to the night.
WHAT! OKAY! YEAH!
