PIOUS POETIC PIE uses the explosive nature of slam poetry to adapt Medea's timeless journey of love, loss, and revenge to the multi-cultural community of a rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn–where race and economics walk hand in hand.
"It's happening now
never trust the eyes that see blindly
because it… felt right….
to reveal simple verses… my heart….
exposing cuts, now strategic plans…
a vendetta to heal internal wounds
injuries that will bleed eternally seeping slowly through my skin."
