Split This Rock Showcase at The Intersections Festival!
Hi all- The Intersections Festival is hosting a Split This Rock showcase, this coming Sunday (the 27th) at the Atlas Performing Arts Center. The reading features a diverse group of DC poets, and is looking to be excellent- be sure to check it out! Read on for details.
Join Sarah Browning, Jonathan B. Tucker, Samuel Miranda and Sonya Renee Taylor for a reading that speaks to the power of poetry in our public life. Dedicated to splitting open the injustices in society, the nationally-potent Split This Rock serves and strengthens the community and world by giving voice to the voiceless, naming the unnamable, and reaching across differences to imagine a better world. Witness the diversity and complexity of the human experience, captured in these four powerful voices and feel the call to action. For age 8+
