One of our most popular programs last year was our poetry sampler. So we decided to make it an annual tradition. Don.t miss this chance to hear 7 poets in 70 minutes.This year's sampler features seven African-American women poets. They are Anjail Rashida Ahmad, director of Creative Writing at N.C. A&T State University; Linda Brown, author and Bennett College for Women administrator and faculty member; Amaris Howard, a poet, teacher and activist; Donalja James, local host of spoken word events also known as The Voiceness; Carole Boston Weatherford, author of numerous children's books and poetry collections including The Tan Chanteuse; Jacinta White, founder and artistic director of the WORD project, which uses poetry for healing; Carolyn Beard Whitlow, Dana Professor of English at Guilford College, whose works have been published in numerous journals and featured on NPR.
