WAT?!: Word Around Town
Nuestra Palabra – Latino Writers Having Their Say present the Word Around Town tour was originally put together by three Houston poets: Zelene Pineda, Joe B., and Stephen Gros, as a way to celebrate and exhibit Houston’s varied and talented spoken word artists and the venues that support them.
