Our newest Anchor Exclusive series profiles artists and their performances. This time we meet poet STEVEN VALENTINE, who recently returned to the Spoken Word market after a hiatus to teach. This Staten Island, New York transplant speaks on how a slam contest brought him back to doing poetry on a recurring basis, which has led him to host a monthly open mic. We also talk about what the future holds for him and what would it take for his to perform as a living wage. His work can be found on Instagram, YouTube and Facebook under Steven Valentine Poetry.
