A night of poetry and performance by poets and dancers.
Join award-winning poets, Ashley Jones, Kwoya Fagin Maples, and Brian Voice Porter Hawkins, accompanied by world-class dancers, Germaul Barnes and Jamorris Rivers, for a live virtual performance of Lift Every Voice: Poetry and Movement for this Moment, on Wednesday, September 23rd at 6 pm. The poets will be performing their own work in this hour-long performance piece in collaboration with the dancers. This emotionally evocative and gripping performance is not to be missed!
Lift Every Voice: Poetry and Movement for this Moment is made possible by a generous grant from the Library of America in an initiative to amplify and celebrate the voices of African-American poets, writers, and artists in American libraries.
