Performance poets
Apples and Snakes work with a wide range of performance poets, writers and storytellers. Here you will find biographies, pictures and a growing selection of videos of their performances at Apples and Snakes events.
Use the search by poet application on the right side of the screen to filter this list to your particular area of interest (e.g. storyteller, rapper) or to learn more about a particular artist.
