Poets from Your Playground
4-5:30pm
Come to a dynamite poetry session that features poets from Orange County’s own backyards, neighborhoods, and playgrounds. They have all lived here all or most of their lives. Their poetry is powerful, tender, humorous, but always a reflection of the diverse community and voices from Orange County. You will be shaken. You will be moved.
Poets and Word (Play)
5:30-6:30pm
Experience award winning poets, slam poets, and spoken word artists, all with published collections of poetry locally to internationally. Collectively they have a history of many years of crafting their own style and playing with language and words. What has resulted is impressive literary magic. This session will inspire you and propel you to move forward.
