Minton Sparks has worked as a spoken word performance artist for many years. Fusing music, poetry, and an intoxicating gift for storytelling, Minton Sparks paints word pictures of the rural South that put you square in the middle of the people and the places she knows like the back of her hand. Minton is a wildly original poet, performance artist, novelist, teacher, and essayist whose appearances range from the prestigious Jonesborough National Storytelling Festival all the way to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and Lincoln Center in New York City. In addition to writing and performing, Minton teaches a workshop called Create Your Story at universities and professional organizations across the country.
