Allow yourself to enter the poet’s mind as she muses on daily life, travels through nature, chasing desire, finding love, and her quest for wholeness. Inspired by spoken word, jazz and performance poetry, Sophie Benkemoun performs original haiku, contemporary poetry, and prose from her original pocketbook publications to an instrumental soundscape. Pocketbooks available for purchase at the door.
