Poetry-on-Demand Four Twenty With Kate Schapira

Come and see poetry as it is written!
Come collaborate with a poet as she's writing!
Do some writing yourself!
Read a little from the shelf!


Sunday, April 20, 2014
Kate Schapira presents her
Poetry On Demand

Before your very eyes she will
  • write using her typewriter carried all the way from Providence 
  • read from current and ongoing work that incorporates or responds to works by other writers 
  • give a talk about her love for collaborative and responsive writing 
  • lead us in a writing exercise that includes books at Berl's 

You don't want to miss this Sunday!

No matter what's happening, come on in.
The typewriter starts at 5 on the dot.

Kate Schapira is the author of four books, most recently The Soft Place, and nine chapbooks of poetry. She lives in Providence, RI, where she writes, teaches, and co-runs the Publicly Complex Reading Series. She's done poetry-on-demand and other participatory poetry events at the RISD Museum and for the Frequency Writers Workshops, and her first book, TOWN, was a semi-collaborative project about community and change. This summer, she plans to offer writing, art and climate anxiety counseling at a Lucy-from-Peanuts style booth in downtown Providence.
