Join us for a powerful, two-day celebration marking a decade of the iconic Poetry vs. Hip-Hop® stage show, hosted by Grammy®-nominated Spoken Word-Poet Queen Sheba. The 10-Year Anniversary Weekend will take over City Winery ATL with back-to-back showcases, workshops, DJ sets, and a championship-style lyrical face-off between some of the nation's top Poets and MCs.

This event also celebrates Queen Sheba’s newest album A Hurricane In Heels: healed people don’t act like that — currently For Your Grammy® Consideration in the Spoken Word-Poetry category — and her first TEDx Talk, both dropping this fall.
