\"\"<\/a>Students at St. Petersburg College recently celebrated National Poetry Month<\/a>, held every April. The event is the largest literary celebration in the world involving\u00a0schools, publishers, libraries, booksellers and poets.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, students, faculty and passersby at the Seminole Campus “Let Poetry Lead the Way” by reproducing poetic snippets – both their own and their favorites from\u00a0others\u00a0– in chalk on sidewalks\u00a0in the Quad between the TL and UP buildings. Check out their Facebook gallery of the event.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, students at St. Petersburg\/Gibbs held their second Open Mic Night at Retro Joe’s cafe in the campus library. Participants of all ages and inclinations read their work to each other with two hours of inspiring talent.<\/p>\n

“Shout out to (instructor) Sheree Greer and her creative writing class and everyone else who read and spoke at our open mic tonight!”\u00a0said Linda Reifler-Alessi, Reference and Instruction Librarian at Gibbs. “So much talent and emotion in one room. The work alternately gave me goose bumps and shivers and warm, heartfelt smiles.”<\/p>\n

“So many different voices — humor, sadness, joy, mental illness, domestic abuse, love, politics, fatherhood, grandkids, little restless feet, retribution, electric kisses, coal mines, Dear John, and more! Such a great show of talent tonight!” Greer said.<\/p>\n
