Poetry Performance & Open Mic featuring B. the Buddha
Advertisement
DOORS OPEN AT 5:30--no early admittance. Join us to listen to some poetry—or share some writing of your own—at Poetry in the Boro at Dapper Owl on Sunday evening, November 22.
Poetry in the Boro regular and popular middle Tennessee spoken word artist, B. the Buddha (aka songwriter Billy Henderson) will be our feature. Billy was licensed to preach at 15 and spent 25 years as a Southern Baptist minister. He started writing songs as a hobby and became a professional writer for hire with over 500 recordings. A serendipitous meeting at a North Nashville Poetry Street Festival in 2017 altered the trajectory of his life when he was profoundly influenced by several Black slam poets who were several decades younger than him. The greatest joy in his life has been turning words on a page into a living, breathing interaction with the audience. His mission is his mantra: to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.
Arrival by 5:45 recommended so that the Owl's staff can take care of most food and drink orders before we get our program started.
Sign up for the open mic on site anytime from 5:30 to 6:00 PM.
This is a free event; donations appreciated.
