CHORUS is an anthem of a new generation of poets unified by the desire to transcend the identity politics of the day and begin to be seen as one. This literary mixtape will serve as the definitive handbook for all artists who seek confirmation of their creative visions and outlook.
A superstar poet, actor, and musician in his own right, Saul Williams offers here an introduction to a choir of one hundred young poets, students, and outsiders who might not otherwise have their voices heard, along with poets as old as legendary Abiodun Oyewole (who spearheaded the infamous Last Poets in 1968) and as young as Justin Long Moton (2011 New York City Youth Poet Laureate). CHORUS also includes work from such other notable names from the world of poetry as Major Jackson, Terrance Hayes, Jessica Care Moore, Staceyann Chin, Suheir Hammad, Patricia Smith, Amber Tamblyn, and Beau Sia.
