The following announcement was provided by the Atrium School:
Atrium School’s BIPOC Leader Series will host An Evening of Poetry & Prose featuring Massachusetts’ inaugural Poet Laureate, Regie Gibson, together with educators from Atrium School’s Summer Writing Fellowship. The event will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, November 21, at Atrium School in Watertown.
The evening will showcase powerful storytelling and original work by Boston-area teacher/writers of color, alongside live literary performances from Gibson – internationally recognized poet, educator, songwriter, and creative voice.
“In this moment, educators’ voices are more important than ever. These writers will truth-tell and inspire. We’re excited to hear excerpts from their memoirs and the lyrical spoken word performances of Regie Gibson!” said Jenee Uttaro, Assistant Head of School for Program & Equity.
This event is free, and open to the public for ages twelve and up. Advance registration is requested at bit.ly/atriumpoetry. Parking is available on and around the Atrium School campus at 69 Grove Street, Watertown, MA.
