Love: an intense feeling of deep affection; a great interest and pleasure in something.
Despair: the complete loss or absence of hope.
Have you ever felt those? If you have, you are not alone and this event is for you. On Thursday, January 11 at 6:45 pm poets, wordsmiths and slick talkers will join together at the Field Library for a Love and Despair Poetry Slam hosted by 2 Souls, One Mic founders Jose Diaz and Kyle Council.
Poets will get three minutes to perform in front of an audience about anything their heart feels like saying. Anyone interested in performing may register by using the hyperlink, stop by, or call the library and sign up. You don’t have to be a poet to enjoy this Poetry Slam, all poets need an audience. Stop by the Field Library and be a member of the audience. Listen, enjoy, encourage, snap your fingers and judge the performances and pieces you like best as local poets pour their hearts out through spoken word with emotions of love or despair.
The Field Library is located at 4 Nelson Ave in downtown Peekskill.
