Top poets from around the country will perform alongside local poets and songwriters representing diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds at Minton Sparks’ Spoken Word and Poetry Festival.
Led by Minton Sparks, the wildly original poet, performance artist, novelist, teacher and essayist, the festival includes performances from Lonnie Holley, Derrick C. Brown and artists from the youth organization Southern Word. With a combination of poetry and music, these three performances highlight the power of the spoken word.
