Schwab Auditorium
60 minutes
As Shakespeare believed in the power of words to create new social bonds and worlds, spoken word poetry artists Mayhem Poets come on a mission to change peoples’ lives and reshape society's view of poetry. Seamlessly mixing the power of personal expression with issues of diversity and acceptance, hilariously random topics with mind-boggling hip-hop rhythms impart a hip and positive message. Audiences leave forever changed and, hopefully, inspired to study and write poetry themselves.
