Performing Arts: Spoken Word Flypoet

Practice your grunts and stomps for this month's installment of Flypoet, as LA's favorite destination for soulful music and red-hot spoken word outdoes itself with a lineup featuring old-school R&B from indie-soul heartthrob Kenny Lattimore. The evening also includes gritty urban wit, insight, and rhythmic sass from Slam Champ poet Steve Connell; Def Jam all-star Red Storm's revved-up Chicago style; and the visual accompaniment of live-action painter Norton Wisdom. Expect commentary on representations of women, mainstream rap and hip-hop, and the current US political situation — you'd be surprised how many words rhyme with Bush.
