Poetry Super Highway
The Spoken Word Join us on a journey through
the rich tradition of performance poetry, set in Washington DC's famous
and eclectic U Street corridor. Our program takes you from memories of the
live poetry clubs that emerged there in the 1960's, through the D.C. riots
that saw venues closing down and artists scattering to the West Coast, to
the modern day renaissance of the spoken word tradition. Our story is
narrated by performance poets M'wili Yaw Askari, Toni Ashanti Lightfoot
and Matthew Payne.
