The Poetry Café: On Feb. 19, the Black Affairs Association is hosting an open-mic night to celebrate poetry in our community.

For those interested, stop into the Ball Hall Auditorium, room 112, at 7:30 p.m. for a chance to explore your own and others’ creativity.
“This event offers the community an opportunity to develop a richer culture while celebrating the art of poetry for all it’s worth,” said ETSU sophomore Shae Johnson. “There is a power in poetry that becomes stronger when spoken and shared with others, and that is why events like this are important.”
