Join Manchester Poetry Library on 21st June at 7pm for the launch of ‘Respect the Mic: Celebrating 20 Years of Poetry from a Chicagoland High School’ edited by the legendary founder of Respect the Mic Peter Kahn.
For Chicago's Oak Park and River Forest High School's Spoken Word Club, there is one phrase that reigns supreme: “Respect the Mic”; the club's call to arms since its inception in 1999. As the club’s founder Peter Kahn says, "It's a call of pride and history and tradition and hope." There will be readings from Peter Kahn himself and, in celebration of the power of the writing workshop, we have invited some of the UK’s best poets and educators of poetry: Keith Jarrett, Malika Booker, and Keisha Thompson.
6.30pm doors open/drinks. 7pm start. 8pm finish.
Time: 7:00pm (Doors open at 6.30pm for networking and free drinks.)
