Some people on the poetry performance scene are quick to say "Poets should never date poets." Award-winning spoken-word flame-throwers ALYESHA WISE and MATTHEW CUBAN HERNANDEZ put that maxim to the test every day as partners in rhyme, and in life. In this episode, they take a break from their duties as Street Poets' program directors, teaching artists and open mic hosts to join our intern Kaylyn Wright in a soulful, enlightening conversation about their love affair with each other, and with the spoken word. For all you Street Poets Podcast listeners who like a little romance with your rhyme: this one is for you!
