Poetry Electric: Poetry Against Gun Violence
Join us for the final presentation of Poetry Against Gun Violence, a pilot workshop addressing the effects of the gun violence epidemic on America's youth. A group of young people from partners Lower East Side Girls Club will work with teaching artists to express their thoughts and feelings about gun violence in their communities.
Poetry Against Gun Violence is supported by a grant from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry.
