Thanks to funding from the Tennessee Arts Commission, we have reconfigured our beloved poetry series to a virtual offering. Line Breaks, founded in 2002, is one of Nashville's oldest community-based poetry series, dedicated to fostering community by building bridges of understanding between people of diverse cultures. Poets scheduled so far include:
February 12, 2021 - Kana Kavon and Alita Brielle Terry of Tamarind Jam - The Poet as Griot
March 12, 2020 - Thandiwe Shiphrah - The Poet as Storyweaver, a film by Thandiwe Shiphrah & Daniel Arite
