[stylist] Transgender Spoken Word Poem

Wed Jun 11 15:12:48 UTC 2014

Hi All, 

I would be up to possibly doing a Writer's monthly call about spoken
word. There is a few people up at the university that I attend has a few
spoken word artists that I could talk to as well. Would anyone be
interested in learning more about spoken word? 

Best, 

Katie
