Poetry Open Mic Night featuring Chandra Washington

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 7:00pm

Open Mic Poetry Night is hosted by Deb Akers.  Bring your poetry to share!

Besides writing and performing poetry, Chandra dances, sings, plays percussion, writes songs, acts, and has a flair for the culinary arts. Born in Austin - bred in the D.C. area, Her poetry is informative, seductive, in-your-face, suggestive, thought provoking, controversial, musical, and extremely personal - with a delivery that is animated and tactile - even comical!

Collaboration with World Saxophone Quartet's Hamiet Bluiett led to her direct the Healing Caravan performance project, incorporating world-class music & spoken word to deliver the message of healing and natural nutrition. Awarded a full publishing contract in the 2005 Big Texas Poetry Competition, Chandra is using the prize to publish a self-help book for all ages titled No Mistake. Her latest vocal/spoken word collaboration is titled the N.O.W. U. Project.
