“Rucker’s is an intense, focused performance that effectively channels her natural stage presence.” — NME

Grammy award-winning artist J. Ivy hosts the second program in our Poetry Uncut series. The showcase includes performances by poet, activist and Pew Fellow Ursula Rucker, accompanied by electronic musician Wendel Patrick, and Abiodun Oyewole, founding member of the legendary Harlem-based Last Poets. The evening opens with L.A.’s own, Get Lit, a non-profit that encourages students to embrace their voice via poetry and is scored by Emmy Award-winning DJ Niena Drake.
