In celebration of both National Library Week and National Poetry Month, local poet and member of Warren Artists Market Thomas Park will lead the community in reading works of poetry – original works or classics. This is an extraordinary occasion to celebrate the importance of poetry over the ages, from Sheppard songs to the digital age. It is also time to celebrate the influence of poetry and the poets in our culture and community while celebrating free speech, imagination, nature, and the things that make our home special. Your voice is important; your words are to be cherished. All are invited to come and listen – or, even better, read a poem themselves! Your voice is important; your words are to be cherished.

“Community of Love: When Poetry came to Town” is a digital mainly pictorial movie that covers in pictures and sound nine years of Warren Artist Market poet gatherings; in and around town, to read poetry, write poetry, talk about social issues, and fellowship.

Through this fellowship many invaluable friendships have been forged, many social barriers have been broken. To date Black, White and Native American poets and writers have gathered around town to share their experience, strengths, hopes, wit, and shade all through words.

So Ideally, We will view my short production…we my have a special (sacrificial poet) reader. We will have some wine and cheese, thank the heavens and our respective Savior, we may also talk about the Ninth Publication.

We hope this film will demonstrate how the power of the arts work on the community and individual level, in particular through the force of words and uplifted voices.

This Event is Free

This Event is also made possible by a Grant from the Warren County Branch of North Carolina Arts Council
