| Lady Dove @ 2015 Jazz Appreciation Month Ceremony, Philadelphia City Hall |
Poetry seeps through
My blood, speaks through me and gives
Voice to my yearnings.
Lady Dove Recites in Philadelphia April 15th, April 16th, April 26th
Since my days in grammar school, poetry has been a source of
solace, a comfort, a connector, a friend and a form of expression that helps me
get to the true essence of who I am. And while I am not a musician, I feel the
same way about jazz. Often, I am able to combine these loves by reciting with
live improvisational musicians. So it is only fitting that April is Jazz Appreciation
month as well as National Poetry Month.
Tonight (April 15th), 7 p.m. – 9 p.m., I am
reciting at Moonstone’s “Word Up” Series, hosted by Aziza, along with Lamont
“Napalm” Dixon, at Fergie’s Pub, 1214 Sansom Street. Open Mic. Free Admission.
