National poetry month is in full swing!  This evenings stop was Soul Restoration hosted by Deana Dean and Celeste featuring guest host  Durel Sankofa.  When you go a Soul Restoration set it’s just like visiting family. The love that’s in the room is evident by the smiles, hugs and positive energy that go from person to person. Soul Restoration is featuring guest hosts which support the fact that they are about sharing their love for fellow poets.  The best term that I can use to describe tonight was lyrical dynamite.  Sankofa brought his suave tone to the set delivering his signature style  which makes him so popular among his peers. Young poets were in the house and they flipped rhyme and verses back and forth like a baton in a relay race. Many Chicago poets were in the house to lay landmines in the form of poems  and honestly tonight’s show cannot be contained in words. When you visit a Soul Restoration Set you will notice that they always take the opportunity to show fellow poets love whether it’s in the form of plugging projects they’re working on or plugging different events going on in the city.  This is a set that is all about community.  Deana and Celeste host this set every Thursday at Soul Vegetarian 205 East 75th Street at 7pm. Add them on Facebook and like their fan page to stay in tune with the shows and by all means stop by!
