About this event
Richmond's Poet Laureate, Dr. Maurice "Moeflowz" Brown, will guide participants in how to say what needs to be said with honesty, craft, courage, and purpose. This workshop addresses how poetry helps with processing life- grief, love, anger, culture, and identity, and how to find a voice while still figuring things out. Comparisons between spoken word poetry and poems written on a page will also be explored. Dr. Brown is the founder of Ink & Barrel, Inc., an organization dedicated to empowerment through poetry, and serves as Associate Director of The Writer's Den RVA. In addition to his work in the arts, he is a math professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
