Abiodun Oyewole is a poet, teacher and member of the African-American music and spoken-word group The Last Poets, which developed into what is considered to be the first hip hop group. Over the course of his forty year career and his long affiliation with The Last Poets, Oyewole is one of several poets credited for liberating American poetry by creating open, vocal, spontaneous, energetic and uncensored vernacular verse that paved the way for spoken word and Hip Hop.
Sunday's Open House started over forty years ago with gatherings at Abiodun's home. The Open House would provide poets, singers, musicians, playwrights and dancers a platform to present their gifts. Continues today online bringing together writers from around the world. This Anthology showcases some of their work.
