T Miller is a Detroit native that is a two time WOWPS Finalist and multiple Detroit National Team Representative. Eboni Hogan is an Urbana Poetry slam Grand Champion and two time Nuyorican Poetry Slam team member, including the 2009 National Poetry Slam Finalist team. You don’t want to miss these two Femme Fatales do their thing at Writing Wrongs.”

WW also notes that “there will be an Open Mic and Slam that night too, so get there early to sign up. With such a packed schedule, WE WILL START ON TIME!” So no Poet Standard Time, folks.
