This Month's Spotlight
"Poetry & the Violin"
April 18 & 25, 2021, 5:00 PM (Eastern) on Zoom
When you hear the word "poetry", what – or who – comes to mind? Alice Walker?
Gwendolyn Brooks? Nikki Giovanni? Emily Dickinson? Langston Hughes? Perhaps
E. E. Cummings, a great example of non-traditional poetry. He experimented with
fragmented lines, odd spellings, and single letters in a line, a style known as Dada.
Both poetry and music are about flow, rhythm, meaning, and expression. Music,
sounds, and even paintings have been described as poems. If it has rhythm and
structure, it is poetry. Thus, music is poetry. We are poetry.
You’ll hear poetry performances from:
Amanda Kemp Dominique Jordan of Tru2You
Frances Veri Krystal Folkestad (nee Grant)
Mimi Shapiro Tabitha Weeks
I will accompany on violin, with Matthew Woodson on percussion.
We will have a special segment highlighting the work of Crispus Attucks
Community Center in Lancaster, PA. ALL of the artists contributing to this
concert series have been involved with programs there.

“POETRY IS WHEN AN EMOTION HAS FOUND ITS THOUGHT AND
THE THOUGHT HAS FOUND WORDS.” ~ROBERT FROST
