This episode was recorded live at Akbar in Silverlake on July 21st, 2019. This week we start with our fabulous open mic with a mix of familiar voices and some new ones. Then we move on to our headliners! Anthony AW is an LA-based writer whose work has been published in a myriad of lit reviews and poetry rags. His micro-chapbook, Pantoum'd!, will be published by Ghost City Press for their 2019 Summer Series. We close out the show with Rodnisha Ford. She is a young African American healer who often uses writing to connect to the deepest and most sincere parts of humanity. Determined to encourage and inspire everyone in her path, Rodnisha is dedicated to using her love of poetry and passion for change to help her connect and journey with all those wanting to dive into a better tomorrow.
