Next Show - April 2009 - 7th Annual Show - Stay Tuned!

On April 25, 2008, Poetic People Power presented Activism: The American Way. This evening premiered poems about democracy, the need for ongoing citizen engagement, reclaiming patriotism, and advocating for social change.  Eight New York City political artists celebrated National Poetry Month with a call for activism.

Poets included Tara Bracco, Erica R. DeLaRosa, Frantz Jerome, Sugar Johnson, Angela Kariotis, Chris Martin, Shetal Shah, and Jonathan Walton.

This show was made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Additional funding from Becky Katzman and the Puffin Foundation.
