Take Back Your Power: Spoken Word Poetry Event
The topic of self-empowerment is the nucleus of this poetry collection by author Zainab Hussain. The title, “Boundless”, represents the boundlessness of one’s personal power. Join Zainab in reclaiming your power by centering your narrative around yourself rather than others in this reading and workshop.
The performance begins with a brief introduction and a summary of the content of the book’s preface, followed by poetry readings. Zainab will begin with two poems from chapter 1, and then another one or two poems from chapter 2. Background music sets the mood for the audience to captivate themselves in the performance.
Poetry Workshop
After the reading performance, the audience is invited to participate in a guided poetry writing workshop on the theme of “taking back your power”. Supplies, including paper and writing utensils, will be provided. Zainab will answer questions/provide feedback. Depending on the size of the group either some or all the attendees can share their poem with the group. We can either write freestyle poems or poems following a specific convention (e.g. ekphrastic, limerick, haiku).
Registration is recommended.
