Join us on April 10, 2025, at 7 PM at Addison’s Bookstore for an unforgettable evening of poetry and spoken word. Hosted by the multi-talented Drew Drake, this event will showcase the vibrant voices of youth poets and spoken word artists from across the city.

Drew Drake is an accomplished actor, poet, and educator whose powerful work has been featured on stages such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Bonnaroo Music Festival. As a passionate advocate for youth and community engagement, Drew’s dedication to inspiring the next generation of artists makes him the perfect guide for this special evening.

In celebration of National Poetry Month, this event is free of charge, though donations are welcomed to support the Knoxville Writers Guild’s mission.

Come experience the power of words, connect with our creative community, and celebrate poetry in all its forms!
