It can't be denied that part of the force behind spoken poetry is the same kind of fast-food mentality that produces "books on tape" for busy people. But when you open up books on Chinese history, you find that in fact originally all poetry was meant to be vocalized.
有聲詩的產生固然是現代社會緊張忙碌的生活步調下，順應「有聲書」風行的潮流而起，但是翻開中國詩的歷史，就發現其實詩本來就是有聲的。
