Poetavango aims to elevate, develop, and promote all spoken word arts

We welcome you to POETAVANGO | Spoken Word Poetry

The poets’ goals are to bring generations, communities, races, and genders together.

Welcome to Poetavango

Poetavango focuses on elevating, developing, and promoting all spoken word arts including poetry, storytelling, performance and other literary arts. The Poetavango slogan is simple: One Word, One Aim, One Destiny. Though the members are varied in their approaches to writing and reciting poetry, they stand as one.
