Bards & Brews Celebrates First Year of Virtual Programming on April 2
Join us at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 2, as Bards & Brews, the Birmingham Public Library's popular spoken word poetry/craft beer event, celebrates one year of virtual programming.
Tune in from the comfort of your own home or on the road via your smart phone device as some of the country's most talented poets share their voices on the Bards & Brews Facebook page. Poets interested in registering for this event should forward their contact information to Bards.Brews@cobpl.org.
In its 11th year, Bards & Brews has gained positive recognition for its ability to bring patrons of all age and races together, to promote the Birmingham area craft beer industry, and as a vehicle for spoken word poets to share their talents. Bards has also become known as an event that unifies the metro Birmingham cultural arts community, as highlighted in this April 2019 Birmingham Times article.
"During these times, we want to stay connected and have an outlet to share creative expression, said Lee Green, a veteran poet and Bards & Brews board member. " I commend the Birmingham Public Library Bards & Brews leadership for providing these educational, inspirational, entertaining opportunities. It has been a very successful and engaging year of virtual programming that I've been proud to participate in and promote."
Bards & Brews will again be hosted by Birmingham poet Voice Porter, who gained national attention when he was featured in August 2019 in its Starbucks Stories spotlight.
Porter performed his original poem, "Moonshots," during the recent Starbucks 2021 Shareholders Meeting. Here is a YouTube video of Porter's performance: https://youtu.be/H93jvfEnwUA
