Additional Information
The Bravewriters invite you to event #3 of Poetry Week. We ask that you sign up for each event (all or just some is okay) whether you plan to participate or be in the audience.
This third event is a Poetry Slam. Participants will write their own poetry prior to this event (any style or length) and read it aloud or ask someone to read the poem aloud on their behalf. Tracy Yates will read for anyone who asks her (please send them to my email ahead of time). This event is a competition, and awards for both the actual poems and speaking style of the reader (whether it is the poet or not) will be determined by the Bravewriters. We will announce awards during event #4, First Line Poem Spectacular, and prizes will be sent afterwards.
This event is a pay what you can event, including $0. The money received for this event will be shared equally between two local organizations that are doing important work to improve quality of life for our neighbors. The first organization is Action St. Louis (https://actionstl.org/mission-vision), a local grassroots racial justice organization, and the second will be a direct donation to local food pantries and groups that feed the unhoused. We ask that you pay what you can and join us in helping our neighbors.
Please add a note to your paypal transaction that it is a donation for Poetry Week.
