In this cool local spot named after an African-American poet/trailblazer, another African-American of the same kind will come on Friday to discuss his new book "Hope on a Tightrope."
If it's anything like typical Cornell West, expect words you don't quite understand/can't pronounce and a provocative analysis of society and culture.
I luv this man's thinking! :) Oh yea, the address to Bus Boys and Poets is (2021 14th St NW) and it starts at 6:30 PM on Friday night.
