About this show

Write to the Mic Dodge Poetry Teen Workshops plays New Jersey Performing Arts Center, a 2,800-capacity theater in Downtown Newark, on Wednesday, December 16. The show starts at 5:30 PM.

Everyone’s voice is different. We want to hear yours. This Fall, come together with other teens (ages 13 to 18) from across Newark at a Dodge Poetry workshop designed to showcase your words and ideas. Poets from the community (like Newark’s first-ever poet laureate, Mia X), and students from the Rutgers-Newark MFA program in Poetry, will be on hand to offer prompts, suggestions and ideas. But the focus is on you: What frustrates you? Where do you find joy? What does this city and this country look like from your unique, powerful perspective? We believe poetry can be found in books, but also in hip hop, at protests and parties, in the clip of a song playing from the window of a passing car.
