T-Dot Renaissance and Accents Bookstore presents…POETRY IS NOT A LUXURY SERIES
Starting on Sunday, February 12th, T-Dot Renaissance in partnership with Accents Bookstore will be presenting a new series called Poetry is Not a Luxury. For many of us in T-Dot Renaissance, art is not a hobby or a casual past-time. It is an urgent and necessary practice for us to maintain our sanity, to regain perspective and to imagine greater possibilities. This series will explore art as a “vital necessity of our existence.” (Audre Lorde) Featuring original works by members of the T-Dot Renaissance Collective, the series will explore the urgency of poetry in a multitude of forms; from the written word to the visual image.
The first night of the series will feature original works by T-Dot Renaissance members Kim Crosby and Quentin Vercetty (to learn more about them, click here and scroll down to find their bios: http://tdotrenaissance.squarespace.com/the-artists/ )
