About this Event

Nationally recognized Triangle-based poet will be in residence with NC State LIVE for the 2024-25 academic year. During his residency, Dasan will create a new work of theatre called Saints & Aints, which will premiere in the cutting-edge James B. Hunt Jr. Library – a place where Dasan often sits to write his poetry. Saints & Aints is part Sunday service reinterpretation, part juke joint reimagining and part underground dance club escapism. This work invites the audience into a communal celebration of life, faith, resiliency and Black joy.

Dasan served as the 15th Piedmont Laureate and is an alumnus of the Nasir Jones Fellowship with the Hip Hop Archive at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African & African American Research. Founder of the Jambalaya Soul Slam/Bull City Slam Team, a monthly poetry slam series held at the Hayti Heritage Center in Durham, NC, Dasan’s goal for poets is to not only be a representative for the community but also an active participant in the community. His charm and talent are magnetic.
