Geof Hewitt will be speaking at the Carpenter-Carse Library on “Poems in Performance: A Cure for Poemphobia” during National Poetry Month. In the past fifty years, a magical loosening of “poetry” has opened doors for reluctant readers, and the performance of poems in “poetry slams” has attracted new audiences. The assumption of sing-song or anticipation of hidden metaphors no longer applies.

In this informal talk, slam poet Geof Hewitt will offer poems that defy stereotype, and discuss strategies for finding more.

This talk is free, open to the public, and accessible to those with disabilities. For more information, contact Rob at 802.482.2878 or rob@carpentercarse.org
