Teen writers to be featured at Waterline Writers Jan. 15
Waterline Writers will feature poets from the Teen Writers and Artists Project at 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 15, at Water Street Studios, 160 S. Water St. in Batavia.
It will be just days before the first competitive event of their slam poetry season. If you don't know what that means, come find out as they hone their craft, revealing hopes, fears and heartaches with enthusiasm and insight.
In addition to poets from area high schools, director Diana Zwinak and teaching artists Adam Gottlieb, Corey Dillard and Shayne Morgan Phillips will perform.
Admission is $5 or $3 for students. There will be food from Gaetano's restaurant and Solemn Oath craft beer or Bright Angel wine for $5. There will be no Open Mic on Jan. 15.
