“Serving the Community Through the Power of Poetry” with Anthony (The Poet) Flores – Award-winning spoken-word artist and educator Anthony The Poet will perform from his celebrated work and speak briefly about the community engagement aspects of a literary life.

Self-described “poet, educator, three-time [San Antonio] Grand Slam Poetry champion, daddy of two awesome humans and hardcore Spurs fan” Anthony Flores (AKA Anthony the Poet) is like a Shaolin master of the spoken word. Although he comes from a traditional poetry background, Flores, who studied at the University of Pennsylvania, discovered slam poetry and performance art by accident 18 years ago in the Alamo City. His material for his poetry runs the gamut – from Mexican food to Manu Ginobili to la migra. Flores can be found all around town performing on stage, emceeing poetry events and sporting his signature facial hair – a white beard reminiscent of something you’d see in a classic kung fu flick.
