Saturday, April 7th, 2pm at the Stapleton Branch Library, 132 Canal St, SINY 10304.

Staten Island OutLOUD presents an afternoon of Cowboy Poetry with our friends at the Stapleton Library, with music of the Old West by Elle La Forge and Rob Landsman. Free & good for all ages.
American cowboy poetry originated in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Cowboys and ranchers swamped stories around the campfire, and started to improvise verse, in somewhat the same way that urban rap originated in the late 20th century.
OutLOUD will share a selection of works by cowboy poets, and anyone who wants to read with us is welcome to join in. Throughout the afternoon, Elle and Rob will share American songs of the Westward Expansion.
Book & bandana giveaway too (while supplies last).
