 Poetic People Power is an ongoing project that combines poetry and activism. We present informative and engaging poetry shows about important issues that affect our everyday lives. Each year our annual show explores a new political or social topic. We also bring our work to schools, festivals, and perform at non-profit fundraisers. Our 8th annual show, Price Check: How We Became A Culture Of Consumption, was held on Wednesday, May 19, 2010. This spoken word show premiered new poems about the economics, psychology, and costs of our consumer culture.
Here's what audience members have said about our shows:
“Moving and inspiring.”
“It moved me to tears.”
“So good. Presented intelligently.”
"A powerful and moving experience."
“I hope you continue to produce these events, and that I am always able to attend because they change me every year."
“I was totally influenced by it. My water habits have changed since then.”
“The show brings people into the personal experience of the water crisis instead of just saying here’s the facts. It affects people more deeply.”
"I was really inspired by this evening. Tara is a great producer, moderator, and poet!"
"A professional, inspiring, joyful event. Tara is the master of bringing art and political commentary together."
"I loved it. So many inspired voices."
"Thank you and the artists for coming out to our campus and taking part in our Earthstock week. Everyone loved all the artists and their poems."
"It seemed to me that the best of the best were in that room to be heard and recognized as a new generation of poets."
"This is a beautifully organized event and an amazing concept."
"Tara has a knack for choosing poets that make you feel like going out and changing the world."
