Retro-Active: 10 Years of Poetic Action

2012

Poetic People Power celebrated its 10th year with the show Retro-Active. This retrospective took place at the Helen Mills Theater in midtown Manhattan on May 17, 2012. The show, which included poems by 13 artists, took a look back at Poetic People Power's artistic response to the changing political landscape over the last decade and presented new poems on the progress of political issues covered in past shows. It was truly an inspiring evening! Poets featured included Bogar Alonso, Tara Bracco, Karla Jackson Brewer, Erica R. DeLaRosa, Andy Emeritz, Nate Gunsch, Angela Kariotis, Dot Portella, Shetal Shah, Pamela Sneed, Jonathan Walton, Justin Woo, and Deanna Zandt. This show was funded by the Left Tilt Fund and the Puffin Foundation.
