Saul Williams is an artist. At least according to his personal bio on his website.

 

The sub-sections of his artistry include poetry, music and performance. He says that who he is “seems to vary by mod, mood, and mode of expression.”

 

Saul explains that his favorite medium as an artist is performance, having studied acting at several different schools. Williams is known for his starring role in the 1998 film “Slam,” has a rap career and currently tours as a performance poet.

 

Like a true emcee, his poetry performances are passionate, quick-talking and musical.

 

It is obvious he has gained an extremely dedicated fan base when watching videos of his live performances and the crowd is reciting his poetry along with him.

 

Earlier this year, Williams released an anthology of poetry entitled “Chorus: A Literary Mixtape” which he calls “the cry of the unheard.”

 

Williams is set to perform at 3:35 p.m. on Nov. 3 on the Yellow Stage.
