Henry Kneiszel & See More Perspective
FREE EVENT! Poetry, Music, & Open Mic. As part of a new work showcase writers Henry Kneiszel and SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE will create a unique performance that blends poetry, music, and sound to explore themes related to the changing internet landscape, finding beauty in a strange world, wikipedia, and bugs. Poets will read original work with sound and music woven in for texture. Henry is also a comedian and SEE MORE is also a hip hop artist and music producer. These influences shine through into the poetry and the result is a multidisciplinary show that is both experimental and accessible.
