Black History Month Poetry Night: "Hush, Somebody's Calling My Name"

Poetry Night; Spoken Word is an evening of spoken word, written poetry, and reflective listening. This gathering creates space for voices shaped by history, faith, struggle, and hope—particularly within the Black experience.

Participants will share poetry that engages themes such as:

• Quietness and reflection
• Faith and perseverance
• Freedom, justice, and memory
• Personal and communal stories

This is a listening-centered space—welcoming poets, writers, and attendees who wish to reflect, support, and engage thoughtfully.

We are also looking for musical solos, like muscians, saxophone players, anyone who wants to do a creative piece.

Please get in contact via email with poem entries :

Whether you are sharing a poem or simply listening, you are invited to come with openness, respect, and curiosity.

All are welcome.
