Poetry Fest premieres at Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver this weekend.
“We went on a field trip to some nearby businesses when we first got into this new building,” recalls Lighthouse program director and co-founder Andrea Dupree. “One of them was Prodigy Coffeehouse. They run internship programs for neighborhood kids with economic disparities and other challenges. Those kids get trained up on working in the coffee shop, and then there are all these leadership trainings they can avail themselves of, things like that.
That’s a curious fate for a form that’s generally so beloved in youth: We start with nursery rhymes, Dr. Seuss, maybe Shel Silverstein. For too many, that’s where poetry stays. To that end, Lighthouse is broadening its definition of poetry to include the art of songwriting — certainly a parallel form, if not a subset of the poetic arts. “will be teaching the craft of songwriting and appearing on a panel,"The Poetry of Everyday Life," with Joshua Abeyta ," says Dupree."Music is something that’s made everyone — everyone — feel something. There’s this disconnect somehow between song and poetry that makes no sense.
