Exploring the Work of Gil Scott-Heron
Join us on Tuesday, April 17, 2018, from 6:00 P.M.-7:30 P.M. to hear original work created by young people. This creative writing experience will be held at the Stonecrest Branch of the DeKalb County Library System. This event will feature the exploration of the last commercially released work of Gil Scott-Heron, the renowned, “Bluesologist.” I’m New Here, is the song from which the theme quote for 2018 has been selected:
“No Matter how far wrong you’ve gone, you can always turn around.”
The event this year offers a poetry competition for Tweens and Teens, ages 11-19. There will be two cash prizes given.
The selected first place winner will receive $100.00 cash
The selected second place winner will receive $50.00 cash
Writers are asked to read the theme quote and then create a new piece of poetry or an essay of 150 words or less, that capture the writer’s interpretation of the theme.
