Teen Poetry Open Mic with Simply Sherri

Social Hall - 2nd Floor

With poet and MC SimplySherri

Teens! Do you have poetry inside you? Let it out! In observance of National Poetry Month, we are presenting this Teen Poetry Open Mic session with Simply Sherri. 

Host and presenter Simply Sherri’s accessible writing style and enjoyable performance offer a revealing reflection of her world that goes straight to the heart.

Simply Sherri is unafraid to examine the totality of a black woman’s life, poetically illuminating subjects such as depression, misogyny and abuse, and surviving the political climate.  Knowing how important it is to connect and share with young people, she has conducted workshops for DC Scores.  She has also volunteered with DewMore Baltimore, becoming a “poetry auntie” to many.

Sherri is the host of Second Wednesdays at Busboys & Poets-450 K St. in Washington, DC.  She released her first CD, Liquefy, in 2010. Her 2015 book of poetry, Love Simply, showcases the range of her writing. 

This program will take place in the social hall on the second floor of the Wheaton Library and Community Recreation Center.

Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
