Join multi-disciplinary and award-winning local artist Poet Gold for an evening filled with the spoken word, music, and conversation as she presents her new book Be The Poem: Living Beyond Our Fears. “It is a love note to all of you, humanity, holding the hope to break through the noise that holds us back, an inspiration to live beyond our fears.”

Damon Banks, Angel Lau, and Ralph M’Vore and The MVORE Family will be on vocals. The event will also feature warm-up performances by local community poets.

Copies of Poet Gold’s Be The Poem: Living Beyond Our Fears will be available for purchase, along with a book signing at this event. To learn more about Poet Gold, former NY Dutchess County Poet Laureate, please visit www.poetgold.com.

This performance is sponsored by Political Science and Africana Studies, in partnership with Celebrating the African Spirit (CAS), and co-sponsored by the Black Students’ Union (BSU), Education, and English.

This event is open to the public.
