April is National Poetry Month, and Fairfax County is celebrating in some style. ArtsFairfax has joined forces with Fairfax Poet Laureate Danielle Badra and her project “Poetry in the Parks” to put on a month-long homage to contemporary poetry.
Throughout April, 14 members of the community will step forward to share the words that most inspire them. Some participants are poets themselves and will read from their own work. Others will read the words of writers they admire. Together, this mix of professional poets and passionate amateurs will help the entire county enjoy the power of verse and the beauty of language.
Spoken poetry is an interactive experience, and the listener plays just as large a role as the reader. As you enjoy the poetry on offer, be sure to follow along on social media and let Danielle Badra and ArtsFairfax know what you think! The world of art becomes a whole lot richer when the audience gets involved.
