CWP Students and Special Guest Poets Performing at the Brooklyn Book Festival

On Sunday, September 12, at 11:00, students from Community-Word Project arts residencies will read their original poetry at the Brooklyn Book Festival.  Also appearing will be poets Lynn Procope and Aracelis Girmay, who will lend their own voices to those of the at-risk children who are inspired to express their own lives and challenges through poetry and performance in CWP's multidisciplinary arts residencies. Award-winning poets Procope and Girmay are both long-time supporters of CWP as well as graduates of TATIP.

The Brooklyn Book Festival is a free event and will take place from September 10-12.   The Community-Word performance will take place at the North Stage, which is at Johnson Street and Cadman Plaza East.
