Nouveau
Griot (Frontenac House 2018) is the result of 20 years on stage and in
studio. It is the text from four spoken word audio recordings made
between 2004-2016: Invisible World, The Memorists, Language for Gods and ZENSHIP.
This work is in the continuum of the griot, which is a french African
word meaning “poet, singer and traveling musician to whom supernatural
powers are often attributed.” BOOK REVIEW #spokenword #poetry #music #kalmunity
