SUMMARY:Poetry as Power: Using Your Voice Before the World Gives You Permission
DESCRIPTION:For Adults and Teens (Grades 9-12). Registration required. Richmond&#8217;s Poet Laureate, Dr. Maurice &#8220;Moeflowz&#8221; Brown, will guide participants in how to say what needs to be said with honesty, craft, courage, and purpose. This workshop addresses how poetry helps with processing life- grief, love, anger, culture, and identity, and how to find a voice while still figuring things out. Comparisons between spoken word poetry and poems written on a page will also be explored. Dr. Brown is the founder of Ink &amp; Barrel, Inc., an organization dedicated to empowerment through poetry, and serves as Associate Director of The Writer&#8217;s Den RVA. In addition to his work in the arts, he is a math professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
