Tshaka Campbell; Abiodun Oyewole

Lincoln Center’s Poet-in-Residence Mahogany L. Browne, a prolific writer and avid advocate for public art, continues her wildly successful multidisciplinary series—this time set underground at Jaffe Drive as part of Summer for the City. Browne has written works of fiction, stage plays and critical essays, edited six anthologies, and authored another half-dozen poetry collections. For her signature series now in its third season, Browne curates thought-provoking evenings of spoken word, spirited conversation, and presentations of new work. The evening’s featured poets include: Santa Clara County's first Black Poet Laureate Tshaka Campbell, and Abiodun Oyewole, also known as Abiodun of The Last Poets, an author, teacher, and founding member of the American music and spoken word group The Last Poets. Music will be spun by DJ Jive Poetic.
