Film Screening: Committing Poetry in Times of War
Thursday, 17 September 2009
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
"Committing Poetry in Times of War follows Youth Poetry Slam Tram coach Bill Nevins firing as a teacher, and the silencing of his outspoken High School Poetry Team. Peaceful protesters demonstrating nearby were brutally assaulted by police as free speech zones were enforced at gunpoint. The fabric of the Constitution was crumbling. Yet out of this fire arose a diverse community of musicians and poets. Dubbed Poetic Justic, its 'blood pounding' slam poetry was a testament to our creative spirit representing a path toward transformation and hope."
Join us with Eric Sirotkin, longtime National Lawyer's Guild member and one of the producers of Committing Poetry in Times of War for coffee, film and conversation.
