HOT Fri 4/9 @ 7PM
Hey ladies: Whisper to a Scream, a feminist performance art collective, wants to hear your voice. Yeah, you. (If you’re ready, that is.) Starting on Fri 4/9 from 7-9PM, they’re hosting She Speaks, a monthly themed open mic/spoken word event giving you the opportunity to network, commune and test your poetry or short stories in a public format. This month’s topic is healing. So bring whatever you wanna read aloud about healing or sit quietly and enjoy the company of some amazing women.
Whisper to a Scream sez…
We will be featuring two area poets, Kisha Nicole Foster of Black Poetic Society and Tru Poetry. Kisha was born in Germany and raised in Cleveland. Known to some as “Poet of the People,” she has been a member of the Cleveland Classic slam team and was honored in 2006 by Writers & Their Friends as one of the top 25 writers in Cleveland. Her work was recently anthologized in Cleveland Poetry Scenes (Bottom Dog Press, 2008). She has performed at such venues as The Lit Center, B-Sides, The Underground, The Humidor, The Cleveland Museum of Art and Cleveland State University. Kisha’s style is both raw and energetic.
Tru Poetry has performed at The University of Toledo, Scott High School in Toledo, the Writing Wrongs in Columbus, B Side Liquor Lounge in Coventry, Case Western Reserve University, Word Play Wednesdays, The Olive Twist, The Grog Shop and the Cleveland Museum of Art. She feels her creator has called her to write, recite and heal with her words. She plans to do so right up until he calls her home.
