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
