Poetry with the Downriver Poets & Playwrights - 2021
Celebrating National Poetry Month - April 2021 - with a collaboration between the Downriver Council for the Arts and the Downriver Poets & Playwrights.
National Poetry Month, a celebration of poetry which takes place each April, was introduced in 1996 and is organized by the Academy of American Poets as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in the United States.
Every year in April the Downriver Poets & Playwrights host a live poetry event with their members. It’s free to the public and held in the auditorium at the Arts Center. Due to the pandemic, the events were cancelled in 2020 and 2021. We came up with this idea to share their creative work safely.
Special thanks to Richard Campbell, the Downriver Poets & Playwrights and the DCA artists for making this gift possible!
