WHEN: Friday, September 24, 2021, 6-7 pm EDT
WHERE: Online.
To register for this event, go to: The Thursday Morning Poets joining 100 Thousand Poets for
Change
In what will be only their second public appearance, Thursday Morning Poets-- who represent NYC’s broad cultural and ethnic diversity – go global, drawing on their unique lived experiences in reading of their original works of poetry in-concert with thousands of other poets from around the world to support peace, justice, and sustainability. TMP first met in an on-line prompt-based poetry workshop led by Queens Poet Laureate and Academy of American Poets Fellow Maria Lisella, in January 2021
The readers—who didn’t meet in-person until July at NYCPoFest2021—include artists, businesswomen, educators, mothers, journalists, a yoga
instructor, and a 19-year-old Ukrainian student.
Following their debut in-person appearance at this
year’s New York City Poetry Festival on Governors Island, TMP will raise their
voices online for social change as part of the 10th annual
global demonstration led by 100 Thousand Poets for Change joining poets, musicians, and artists worldwide, from many
languages, cultures, geographical regions, ethnicities, creeds, beliefs, and
religious affiliation, in the call for lasting social, political, &
environmental change.
