Sage Francis

Wordsmiths Tourettes (NZ) and Sage Francis (USA) have a lot in common - they're both 33-year-old late life academics who blur the boundaries between spoken word poetry and hip hop, and they both keep meat off the menu. Tourettes and Sage met up at a vegetarian restaurant on K-Road in Auckland to talk about Sage Francis' latest album 'Li(f)e'; and their shared love of words.
