This month we are featuring Dallas Beat Poet, Musician and our Mad Brother, Carlos Salas! Here’s a bit about Carlos:

He has performed at the first annual New Orleans Poetry Festival of 2016, broadcast to Blackwater Poetry Festival in the County of Cork, Ireland, performed at The Latino Cultural Festival in Austin, Texas.
