The Eco Rise

On April 22, 2021, we presented our 18th spoken word show. This show, presented on Earth Day, highlighted the stories of environmental heroes who have worked in their communities locally or at an international level to advocate for the well-being of people and the planet. Using poetic storytelling, seven poets created new pieces, in response to a commission by Poetic People Power. The result was an inspiring and informative show about community leaders, reminding audiences that positive change starts with the everyday person.
