Leimert Park Wunderkind A.K. TONEY started performing poetry as a 19-year-old in 1990. Growing up in Inglewood, one of his first poems was published in high school. By the time he was in his early 20's he was meeting up with poets like Kamau Daaood, Michael Datcher, Peter J. Harris, and jazz legends like drummer Billy Higgins and pianist Horace Tapscott. A.K. is now teaching youth poetry through his program “Reading Is Poetry” and is active both in the literary and performance world.
Tonight he will be joined by jazz-inspired musical friends.
