Join us for a generative workshop with poet and educator Jive Poetic. We’ll look at some themes, read some poems, and write our own. Jive Poetic is a writer, organizer, and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. He is the founder of Insurgent Poets Society, Carnival Slam: Cultural Exchange, and the co-founder of the Brooklyn Poetry Slam. When he is not on tour or hosting, he teaches performance poetry and hip – hop workshops to at risk youth in New York City and surrounding tri-state area.
