The spoken word: Poetry project gains momentum in Danville
September 25, 2015
As a student learning about one’s identity, you have options like sports teams or clubs. But there aren’t many options for those with a passion for writing.
North Carolina poet Josephus Thompson III has initiated a change that will open the possibilities for students learning about themselves, the community and what they want to do with their life through the Dan River Region Poetry Project.
The Danville Regional Foundation Make It Happen grant-funded project has included a series of workshops at Danville Community College, Piedmont Community College, Averett University, area Boys and Girls Clubs and community libraries.
