Our live poetry cafe continued today with 11 more sessions. Again, we broadcast each reading through Google Hangouts and encouraged people to Tweet about our poetry using the hashtag #barrowpoems. You can read about yesterday here.
I always love the surprises that come up from students: a student reading from a computer, a student who barely speaks who reads an incredibly descriptive poem, a student giving his teacher a standing ovation, a student who shared a poem in Chinese and then English, students encouraging their friends with a “you can do it”, a student sharing a poem about his home country, a student reading a poem for another student who was too shy to come up, and a student handing me her poem to carry in my pocket.
Today I added a little sign to help with our traffic in and out of the library for checkout.
The energy of our students sharing poetry is simply amazing and inspiring. Check out all these pictures of the students in action.
Our Twitter wall was very popular with students during the two days:
