Poetry of Resistance and the Pedagogy of Voice in the Cait Miner Kay Model

The article analyzes the educational model of Cait Miner Kay, in which spoken word poetry becomes a tool for building a civic voice. The author transforms writing poems against injustice into a laboratory of moral rhetoric, where students learn to move from private testimony to the analysis of systemic mechanisms. A key element here is the development of political imagination—the ability not only to criticize the existing world but also to design alternatives. Through the practical application of the classical pillars of rhetoric (logos, pathos, ethos), this model teaches youth conscious communication with various audience groups. Poetry ceases to be merely a form of artistic expression and becomes a school of responsible citizenship and a tool for fighting the moral comfort of silence.
