Check out “The Heartbeat of a City” Four national youth poet laureates reimagine the next New York, hosted by Mahogany L. Browne; Presented by urban Word/NYC on Saturday, September 11th at 8pm (rain date September 12th). Another Free Event.
“Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power.” So said the famed poet and teacher Paul Engle. Now, four brilliant young poets—Meera Dasgupta, Alexandra Huynh, Kara Jackson, and Jellystone Robinson-Frazier—will display that powerful definition for us all. These National Youth Poet Laureates will be bringing their beautiful verses to Little Island on September 11, 2021, for an evening that reflects on our country’s recent challenges from 9/11 to Covid, reminds us of the resiliency that got us through, and reassures us that the future of our country and our planet are in the hands of brilliant young thinkers and doers.
