This is some audio from a poetry event held in June of 2011 during the Allied Media Conference (AMC) in Detroit. It was a coffeehouse and so many amazing artists came together to share and perform. These pieces deal with a variety of issues, some of which may be triggering for listeners (sexual assault, gun violence, racism, sexism).
The audio is not edited, so there is some crowd cheering, screaming, laughter etc. as well as pauses between pieces. Also the recorder gave a lot of trouble so some pieces are cut off in the beginning.
I share these pieces in memory of David Blair who hosted this coffeehouse and was a brilliant artist and poet. RIP Blair.
