Lenelle Moïse is an award-winning poet, playwright, musician and performance artist. She creates fiery, fun, jazz-infused, politicized texts about identity, immigration, and the intersection of race, class, gender and sexuality. Her writing is featured in several anthologies, including "Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken World Revolution." Curve Magazine calls her work "piercing, covering territory both intimate and political...vivid and powerful." Moïse was the fifth Poet Laureate of Northampton, MA and the Spring 2012 Visiting Performing Artist in African & African Diaspora Studies at UT Austin.
