On April 8th, there will be a poetry night held by Excelsior Springs Middle School students. This poetry night is an opportunity for young writers to share their poems, and for many, this night is an opportunity to overcome a fear of public speaking. Many middle schoolers struggle with confidence, but Ms. Gina Calvin has put this night together to help them succeed and overcome their fears. Many great stories will be shared, and this night will be remembered by all participants. Activities like these leave ever-lasting impacts on young authors, and the students will love it if you attend. Published Poet Pasquale Trozzolo, who is known for his works in Before the Distance, will be at this poetry event. From 6-8 pm on Friday, April 8th come to Bohemian Sage Gallery to attend this amazing event and meet Poet Pasquale Trozzolo.
