The Colorado-based poetry group TVS and Two fingers will perform at the library on Monday, April 16, at 7pm. "They give an amazing poetry and visual experience," said Tony Rumpf, spokesperson for the library. The group incorporates musical sounds, beats and rhythms with many different and random objects, even ducttape, with whatever might be at hand to make a noise that would work in a poem. TVS and Two fingers give the art of poetry a new and fresh look.
The library is also offering a poetry slam on Thursday, April 19, at 6:30 pm--an event the library has offered for five years. Junior high and high school students perform their original poetry.
The library is affiliated with the LCCC Literary Connection. Kim Addonizio is a published poet who will take part in this year's Literary Connection. The library has Addonizio's books available for check out.
