Spreadlove at the Library

I was, I am, I will...

Unleash your inner poet for National Poetry Month! Join Mr. Spreadlove for an energetic, hands-on workshop designed to help you write and perform your own poems. Aspiring poets and thinkers can connect with the community in a unique way through the art of slam poetry.

ABOUT SPREADLOVE
Children and adults alike enthusiastically embrace poetry through SpreadLove poetry workshops. Dissecting both written & oral tradition, Lance G Newman II instructs his students to read and write poetry with broader understanding of poetical devices including wordplay, alliteration, personification, metaphors, and satire. After participants compose their written poetry, they are introduced memorization and stage presence techniques. Spoken-word poetry derives from folklore, which is the art of storytelling. Not only has humanity’s history been vividly recorded by such methods, but poetry helps address challenges and provides affirmations of hope. Spreadlove is certain that you have a story to share. 

For ages 13 and up. Just drop in!
Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Questions? Call Jenn C. at 543-7675 ext. 2558 or e-mail jennifer@bcplib.org.
