Poetry in Motion

Storytelling with a kick! The words, sounds and people that bring poetry to life…five shorts from San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago and Minneapolis connected by words and identity. A painful story about bullying; inaccurate assumptions about a pretty face; the melting pot of identity politics; powerful memories of a soon-to-be demolished housing project; and coming to terms and acceptance with loss.
