Black Poetry Matters

Description

One route to greater compassion and empathy is through poetry. Whether angry, heart-wrenching, righteous, or joyous, the verse of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) poets is an invitation to understanding and the building of bonds. Explore and celebrate the work of these poets with us in this new ongoing program, in which we will listen to two or three pieces per session, and reflect on what they awaken in us. Note that the themes and language in some pieces may be heavy, and while youth are welcome to join us, it would be best if they were accompanied by an adult to help provide context and support when needed.
