Singer, musician, poet, writer, and actor Saul Williams will be returning to Toronto for a spoken word tour in support of his latest book Chorus. The book offers an introduction to one hundred street poets, students, and outsiders who might not otherwise have their voices heard. "This is a book that I have been taking submissions for over the past ten years as hundreds of poets/artists/writers have handed me their work with hopes that I would read it. My goal is to create an important book that connects varied vices into a cohesive work that stands out as a generational testament of our time". $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Manifesto Community Projects.
