CEREUS ARTS' PRESENTS THE REVIVAL

This isn't your mama's REVIVAL. It's song, poetry and passion! If you are in DC, Chicago, NY or Brooklyn, you are in luck.

Black lesbian poets tour the east coast in a salon styled poetry tour October 6-15, 2011. In private homes in Washington, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, THE REVIVAL hosts a night of music, libation and poetry- in - concert. Touring troupe and special guests break the envelope of safe space for today's queer and trans artists and allies while sharing the written word.

After a successful tour last year, THE REVIVAL adds new members to its roster and a new city! Cave Canem fellow, t'ai freedom ford joins the ranks alongside Washington acoustic duo, Solrose and Revival veteran, LOVE the poet.

"Last year's tour was awesome, a really tremendous experience. It was really interactive—the audience was just as much a part of the stage as we were. It was a give and take process that allowed for something different to happen. I think lives were definitely changed," says new author of Black Marks on White Paper, LOVE the poet.

Touring is nothing new to poets and writers but in someone's actual home? Individual hosts welcome the idea the opportunity for building community and fellowship are put in the forefront. With presenting sponsors, The Rainbow Collective and The Center for Gay and Lesbian Studies, each night of the tour also features a local poet:

Thursday, October 6, 2011: Washington DC with Bettina Judd
Friday, October 7, 2011: Brooklyn, NY with R. Erica Doyle
Saturday, October 8, 2011: Philadelphia, PA with E. Kairo Miles
Friday, October 14, 2011: Chicago, IL with Patience
