A WTS open mic night

Spoken word poetry has taken off in the city in recent months, thanks in part to poetry slams and open mic nights. This week, Words Tells Stories (WTS), an initiative by poet Rochelle D’silva, completes two years. To celebrate, she is bringing in two international artistes — New York-based activists Alok Vaid-Menon and Grace Dunham — for an evening of poetry and conversation.
