Donte for Website

“You, ma’am, want me to be quiet. Want me black enough for decoration. Want me two words or less, obituary ready and dressed.”

Check out this amazing poem from the winner of December’s Button Poetry Live. If you’re in the Twin Cities, head over to January’s show tonight at Camp Bar! For the rest of you, we’re live streaming for the first time ever, so don’t miss it here at 8:00 PM CST.

Surprise, we got a free e-book for you!
