Growing Concerns Poetry Collective Workshop!

Growing Concerns Poetry Collective--a powerhouse trio that features poet McKenzie Chinn, rapper Mykele Deville, and beat maker Jeffrey Michael Austin--fuses lyrical narrative + hip-hop poetry with original music + soundscape to create spoken word performance that is greater than the sum of its parts. The collective released its inaugural album, "We Here: Thank You For Noticing" in August 2017. Their latest anthology, "Five Fifths," published by Candor Arts, interrogates the nature of selfhood, blackness, community, love, ritual, and vulnerability while celebrating perseverance and survival in the face of generational and systemic marginalization.
