Schooled on Poetry, a collaboration between CAPA, the Thurber House, The Ohio State University, The Columbus Foundation and poet-educator Peter Kahn is the culminating celebration of a year-long Spoken Word poetry project at Columbus Africentric Early College High School, Licking Heights Middle School, Wedgewood Middle School, and United Middle Main Street. At the culminating event on May 2, there will be intra-school group pieces and individual original poems by slam champs from each school. Students will be joined by Columbus poets Hanif Abdurraqib, Steven Waddell and Cynthia Amoah, visiting poet/rapper Jalen Sharp, and Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award winner, former MacArthur Fellow and bestselling author.
We hope to showcase the power of poetry to the Columbus community in a diverse way so that writers of all ages and backgrounds can see poetry as a meaningful and accessible form of expression.
