The first in a series of four events hosted by Spoken Word artist Melanie Lavender.
The theme for the February event will be ‘TRUTH and POWER’. Local poets are invited to participate in the Open Mic prior to the featured poet performance.
Our featured performer will be Poet Laureate of York, Pennsylvania, multiply published and award winning poet and writer, Carla Christopher. Christopher will be sharing interactive and theatrically inspired new work based on research and personal pilgrimage around the hidden stories of the underground railroad and our ongoing journey towards freedom.
Be inspired by Carla’s combined spoken word, performance poetry, and historical storytelling as she escorts us on a journey in the griot tradition.
