The Grand Showcase Poetry Festival

Join The Diatribe on November 23 for "The Grand Showcase", held at Fountain Street Church. This poetry event features nationally-known poets Rudy Francisco (Cali), Ebony Stewart (HTX), Bee "Black Rose" Kapri (Chi), area youth poets, and some of Michigans’ most talented spoken word poets (Mia Monet, Great Dane, Jocelyn Barnes, Joseph Harris, Amanda Small, Kyd Kane).
