Poet, writer, musician Carl Hancock Rux

"The Baptism” is a new 11-minute visual poem by Carl Hancock Rux commissioned by the Lincoln Center as a memorial to civil rights titans John Lewis and C.T. Vivian. It is just one of the latest projects that Rux has recently been involved with. An award-winning multi-hyphenate writer, poet, essayist and recording artist, Rux reflects on a year of pandemic and civil unrest, his work, his influences and the "tragedy" around his own birth.
