Virtual Valentine's Day reading

 Laurie Kincer writes:

Dear poets,

 

Here’s a special gift for you on Valentine’s Day: Honey Bell-Bey, Cuyahoga County Poet Laureate, is the featured reader at tomorrow’s Second Sunday Poets. A spoken word poet, Ms. Bell-Bey has been in the news frequently over the years as the founder and director of The Distinguished Gentlemen, a poetry recitation and performance group for young men ages 12-21.

 

Register here to receive a Zoom link at 2 p.m. for the 3 p.m. eventSecond Sunday Poets - Cuyahoga County Public Library (cuyahogalibrary.org)

 

Bring one or two of your own poems to read during the open mic, with the suggested theme of love (keeping it PG-rated). You’re also welcome just to tune in to listen.

 

Stay well and warm,
