This event is part of Staten Island OutLOUD’s series of events for The Big Read/National Endowment for the Arts. FREE! Book giveaway!

Join Staten Island OutLOUD and Island poet Victoria Hallerman for this lively reading and community conversation. Vicki will explore the gap (or is it a connection?) between poetry and our daily lives.

Is there a disconnect between poetry and daily life? For some of us, poetry is a familiar friend. Others may find it a struggle to understand what we read. Do you agree? If not, what are your thoughts?

What’s the life of poetry in the digital age? What’s the life of poetry in contemporary American life? What is poetry in your own life?

Join us, share your ideas and explore some fresh viewpoints!
