BLACK QUEER POETS EMBARK ON REGIONAL ‘SALON-INSPIRED TOUR’
\nLOVE the poet, Venus Thrash and J. Pope hit the road
\nto commune with artists in DC, Baltimore, Philly & Brooklyn<\/p>\n

LOVE the poet, Venus Thrash, and J. Pope take four cities by storm in November with a set of poetry, music, and more. Known as \u201cTHE REVIVAL\u201d, the tour begins in Washington, DC, then heads out to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Brooklyn. The spoken word concerts will be hosted in four private residences, resurrecting the salon concept and breaking the envelope of safe space for today’s queer artists and allies.<\/p>\n

The Revival offers a unique experience with featured poets and musicians. Catered by local chefs in each city, the atmosphere is filled with good words and good music. Guests will walk into a home, be welcomed by \u2018ushers\u2019 and enjoy a service hosted by Jade Foster, whose \u201cBlack Church Maraca\u201d open mic series served as a launch pad for this effort. “With Black Church, poets all over DC opened their homes up to complete strangers so we could all have that opportunity to share,\u201d says Foster. \u201cThe Revival plays on that idea, offering a chance for people to sit down and listen, get up and move.”<\/p>\n

Offering food, drinks, as well a vending opportunities for local artists, each city\u2019s event will feature a local poet, including New York\u2019s Yvonne Fly, Baltimore\u2019s Queen Earth and Philly\u2019s Ms. Wise.<\/p>\n

The Revival Tour Schedule:
\nNovember 11, Washington, DC.
\nNovember 12, Philadelphia.
\nNovember 13, Brooklyn.
\nNovember 14, Baltimore.
\nEach show starts at 7pm.<\/p>\n
