Poetry and Pie: Brother's Keeper

In a continuation of the vibrant community public art event, The Florence Poetry Carnival, special guest artists Brother’s Keeper Poetry and Theater Ensemble are the featured literary artists for “Poetry and Pie” evening on April 26th in National Poetry Month. This evening of community art is an activation of small town collaboration between public arts programmer and originator, Rachel Cyrene Blackman, the Bombyx Center for Art and Equity and the Florence Pie Bar. Very special guests to start the evening will be the three finalists from the Valley Youth Poetry Slam chosen at their live event at Northampton's Academy of Music on April 5th.

Since 2013, Brother's Keeper Poetry Theater Ensemble has been a beacon of hope and transformation, weaving together words, emotions, and stories to create powerful theatrical performances that resonate deeply with their audiences. The group blends elements of poetry, spoken word, theatre and music to create a unique performance which is not only entertaining and educational, but also soulful.
