Explore the power of poetry during this second annual festival created by Charleston’s Poet Laureate, Marcus Amaker. The headlining event is October 20’s Spoken Words, bringing three celebrated poets—Cheryl Boyce-Taylor, Mike Rosen, and Tyquan Morton—to the Memminger Auditorium stage. Yet a dozen more happenings range from an evening of dance at Queen Street Playhouse to a convergence of electronic music and spoken word poetry at Redux Contemporary Art Center.
