Last year, Saul Williams put a call out through social media for poets to send him their writings for the sake of a literary experiment. Within one month, Williams received approximately 8,000 poems from which 100 were selected. Williams then put the titles and authors aside in an attempt to fuse 100 voices into one – the result is a book entitled Chorus – A Literary Mixtape.

On September 4, 2012, Chorus will be released, and Williams is going on a spoken word tour which he calls “Chorus – A Spoken Word Tour.” Full dates are below.
