  You still have a chance to meet these gentle giants of the poetry world at these informal poetry training sessions.  Please make an effort to find your voice and join the choir.

Tri-C is sponsoring their visit to Cleveland, culminating in a final  Hip-Hop Choir presentation on March 26th

Yesterday's visit to my neighborhood warmed my heart.  We all learned something to take away and make our own.  We talked about this song.
