Poetry Appreciation & Sharing

Description

Share some of your own work, Share a poem written by an author who is an inspiration to you, or simply come and listen!

For all recorded written history, poetry has held an important role in the understand and development of humans beings.

Through its symbolism, metaphor and imagery, poetry conveys messages that have shaped and influenced individuals, culture, society, and the world.

Many people have negative connotations about poetry due to how it was taught in school, or how mainstream society often views it.

A reframe is that by being conscious beings and emotive humans we are all poets.

This evening event is a space for anyone to come share in the beauty, grit, truth-telling, and imagination of poetry. And hopefully bring about an increasing appreciation for, and joy in, poetry.
