Ann Arbor Poetry: Clarity Levine

Performance by this Inkster-based slam poet whose 2017 Rustbelt Poetry Festival entry, “how to endure,” offers stark and occasionally darkly comic advice on how to cope with waiting on a racist customer at a strip club: “It’s a strip club, not a sit-in. / Do remember there won’t be no honor gained, no landmarks in your name, / No seats engraved reading ‘This booth was cleaned by a strong black leader in boy shorts and fishnets.'”
