20 Year Celebration a Huge Success!




The highly-anticipated, long awaited 2-day celebration honoring 20 years of artistic excellence and arts advocacy for Poets United, took place last week.

This well-attended event was fun for all; with the first day of activities held at the beautiful Beverly library. The day included an open mic segment, a tribute to Maya Angelou, selected readings by Baba Griot, a poetry trivia contest, a small awards ceremony, and a "spread" fit for royalty.

The following day, the group hosted their "hot," annual backyard barbeque referred to as "Poetry on da' Patio."
The weather was beautiful, the conversations stimulating, and the music...mellow.
It was an affair to remember!

If you missed it, you truly missed out.
A special thanks to all of those who supported this milestone achievement  through attendance or donations!
You made the difference.
