Featured at open mics and poetry slams around the country, including the first ever Women of the World Poetry Slam in Detroit, MI, self-proclaimed poet, activist, and teacher Dane Kuttler is not to be missed! Dane's poetry explores the themes of Jewish and queer identities, including, she says, "a lot of love poems to her grandparents." Having spent the last five months on the road performing at venues in seven different states, Dane returns to her home state of New Jersey to join us at Princeton for an evening of spoken word performance that is sure to both rabble-rouse and entertain.
