Join us at the MLK Center for a poetry workshop led by Masaki Takahashi, the Lansing Poet Laureate, spoken word poet, and hip-hop enthusiast.
This free workshop is for school-aged youth of all skill levels, from those who have never read a poem to seasoned poetry experts.
The community is invited to the 19th Annual Young Poets Award Ceremony to enjoy an evening of poetry as the contest winners from each grade read their poems. This event will take place at 6 PM Thursday, May 4 at the Middle School at Parkside.
Visiting Lansing Poet Laureate Masaki Takahashi will present at the award ceremony as well as conduct a poetry workshop for students leading up to the visit.
