It's Alive! ALIVE!!!
by Jess Hesselgrave 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Good afternoon, I wanted to reach out and let you know about a program we are holding on Saturday, October 13 at 2 pm at Liberty School at 7265 N Ann Arbor Street in Saline MI. The program is FrankenSlam, a hybrid lecture and slam poetry performance exploring the continued influence of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The classic novel is celebrating its 200th birthday this year, and this program is serving as a tribute to the novel, to Shelley, and the power of poetry. Feel free to share with your patrons, neighboring schools, book groups, and drama groups. Come join us! In 1816 poet Lord Byron challenged his friends to craft a ghost story, setting the stage for teenage Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein , a tale about a scientist consumed with reanimating the dead. Byron’s challenge is reminiscent of poetry slams today , and to honor the bicentennial anniversary of Frankenstein poet Adam Henze has created “FrankenSlam: Where the Poetry is Alive! It’s Alive.” This poetic celebration begins with a hybrid lecture and performance exploring Shelley’s influence on artists ranging from bards to hip hop. After the performance participants are invited to create their own “horrorcore poem” in an interactive writing workshop. Echoing Byron’s ghost story challenge, the session concludes with a FrankenSlam, where all are invited to share their poetic creations at the mic. This will be held at Liberty School auditorium, located at 7265 N. Ann Arbor St. Saline MI. To register, please visit [ http://www.salinelibrary.org/events | www.salinelibrary.org/events ] or click [ http://salinelibrary.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=1712&backTo=C… | here ] . To view videos about this program, click on the link below: [ http://quantumleap.indianahumanities.org/frankenstein/frankenslam/ | http://quantumleap.indianahumanities.org/frankenstein/frankenslam/ ] I have also attached the poster if you wish to display it.
