Poetry Series
Once a month, The Sun Crumbs Poetry Series brings the best national performance
poets together with our own local heroes for an evening of scintillating spoken
word. In it's early days, when one thought of performance poetry, one thought
of screamers, ranters, cliché delivery men and societal solution nurses.
Poets presented during the season represent some of the most significant voices
in modern poetry. Now, approaching the year 2000, performance poets are people
with polished, well-crafted work who foster a love for poetry by performing
incredible poetry exceptionally well. An open mic follows the performance. While
visiting the Pittsburgh area, the poets give workshops to children in the community.
The Sun Crumbs Poetry Series and adjacent workshop programming is made possible
in part through the generosity of The Grable Foundation, The Henry C. Frick
Educational Fund of The Buhl Foundation, The Urban League Housing Empowerment
Program, Action Housing Inc., Norman D. Nunley Jr., Sean and Steve Owens.
