Author, producer, and spoken word poet Caleb “The Negro Artist” Rainey, will perform poetry that addresses race relations with honesty and vulnerability. Caleb has released two books of African American poetry and was featured on Iowa Public Radio. He is the co-founder of the literary magazine Black Art and writes a monthly column for The Real Mainstream. He has done spoken word across the nation and has even performed in London, England.
