Poetry. Motion. Sound. For most of her 88 years, Sonia Sanchez has known and embraced the power of words and music, eventually merging both aspects into her lyrical word power. To hear Sanchez recite poetry is to listen to her sing, all with a distinct musicality and cadence.
On Monday, October 17, 2022, 6-9 pm, we honor Sonia Sanchez’s life and work with offerings of spoken word and music. The celebration will be held at Busboys and Poets Columbia, 6251 Mango Tree Road, Columbia, MD.
Sonia Sanchez is a poet, writer, playwright, professor, and activist. She was a leading figure of the Black Arts Movement during the 1960s and 1970s and is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry, plays, short stories and children’s books.
The event is free and open to the public, but please RSVP
Co-produced by Busboys and Poets and Anyanwu Management.
