VOICE AS A BRIDGE: A multi-language poetry reading

Poetry as a Global Force

Produced by Grace Cavalieri

An evening of unique multi-language poetry reading, celebrating poetry as a global force. This event will tap the wealth of language we enjoy in American culture, thanks to linguistic treasures brought by immigrants who enrich our diversity.

Cultural curator Renato Miracco, former cultural attaché with the Italian Embassy, will introduce the evening.  Poets representing 12 cultures will read poems in English, Spanish, Polish, Chinese, Italian, Scotch, Persian, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Indian, Arabic, Russian, plus African American Ensemblage.  The experience will be of a beautiful ribbon of sounds.

Music by classical guitarist MICHAEL DAVIS.
