Part of Hancher's Infinite Dream festival

Part of Hancher's 52nd season

With an eye on justice and joy, a poet speaks and sings words that reveal her loving, activist heart.

aja monet won the esteemed Nuyorican Poets Café Grand Slam title at 19 — the youngest winner ever. Her work proudly takes its place in a long tradition of poets who have tuned their work to social causes. Her most recent record, the Grammy nominated when the poems do what they do, was co-produced by Monet and Chief Adjuah (who himself will appear in a Club Hancher performance this season). The album is a stirring example of her revolutionary spirit and activist heart. She will be joined by a top-tier jazz quartet as she brings her words reflecting and reimagining reality to Infinite Dream.

“[m]onet’s poems cast unflinching eyes towards love, justice, accountability and the joy and healing of daughters and sons of the Black diaspora. At times, her words — gentle gut punches to the soul and psyche — had those in attendance whooping in agreement or silently weeping.” — NPR
