The free, intergenerational poetry workshops will also be facilitated by the editors of The BreakBeat Poets. Both workshops will be held at the Cesar Chavez Library from 1 – 4 p.m. Performances will be held at the newly-completed Chavez Ramada from 4:30 – 8 p.m. For more information, please visit www.phoenix.gov/ARTS. About The BreakBeat Poets The BreakBeat Poets is a first-of-its-kind anthology of hip-hop poetica written for and by the people of Hip-Hop. It features 78 poets, born between 1961 – 1999, from many cities coast to coast, who are creating the next and now movement(s) in American letters. The BreakBeat Poets is for people who love Hip-Hop, for fans of the culture, for people who have never read a poem, for people who thought poems were only something done by people in the past, and for long-time poetry fans. This anthology is meant to expand the idea of who a poet is and what a poem is for.
