FREE | Poet’s Corner – Ray Jane
April 22, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
About this event
The Poet’s Corner is a free workshop for teens and adults meant to empower participants in writing creatively with different styles of poetry and structures. This program aims to create a nurturing space for emerging poets and writers to document their own stories and emotions. Writers create unique pieces at every workshop and are encouraged to participate in an open mic session that same evening to share their creations. For ages 13 & up.
About the poet
Ray Jane is a Black female poet born in Brooklyn and raised in Far Rockaway Queens. She uses her poetry to lift herself and other women of color. Always aiming to strengthen her voice, Ray Jane was also the recent winner of the Verb Benders slam poetry team’s inaugural poetry slam and recently accepted to La Libreta- An Online Poetry Journal for Women in Creative Rebellion. She also attends poetic writing workshops focused on empowering women like “RoblesWrites Presents: Respite, Write, and Release™ for Women in Creative Rebellion”, amongst many others. Her passion for lifting women extends to mother earth and she is a contributing editor in a poetry anthology dedicated to nature entitled Love Letters to Gaia. You can hear more of how she uses her voice in over 50 recorded poems on SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/jay-ray-11) or walking around NYC on the app Hear, Before https://www.hearbefore.nyc/.

Please note:
The Valley of Writers team scours the web looking for the most inspiring, elevating, and accessible events that we can share as a service to our readers.
The big idea is that in a virtual arena, more people can participate. Geographical boundaries matter less.
The events we list are virtual and can be attended by writers from wherever they are in the world.
Unless otherwise stated, we are not affiliated with and do not benefit financially from the events we post. Listing is not an endorsement of the content, opinions, or products promoted by the event organizers we feature here.
Please verify all dates, times and other event details as these are subject to change and are beyond our control.
What qualifies an event as ‘lit’? Any event that we think would teach writers of fiction, memoir, and poetry useful skills, inspire them to produce great work, remind them of the power of this work we do and build stronger, mutually beneficial ties between writers and other creatives.
