"Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful." -Rita Dove
Poetry Gumbo is #TWP's poetry workshop for teens that was designed for teens to develop and share their own stories through spoken word, verse, writing, publication and performance education.
We challenge students to study craft through the critical examination of literary greats, modern leaders in the genre, and the lyrics of hip-hop. As students write, refine and perform, we highlight the rhythmic, literary and aesthetic components of language in order to define their real world experiences and connections.
