Experience poetry. Feel the energy of spoken-word poetry and poetry-in-motion. This event will feature an open mic, poetry panel conversation, exhibition dance battle, and a poetry showcase! Local, new, visiting, and veteran poets will both grace the stage. We will examine poetry, its role in society, the connection between art and entrepreneurship, and more. Street dancers will demonstrate poetry through movement as they put their skills against each other on stage. And together we will celebrate poetry.
