Justice Snow\u2019s<\/a> welcomes FIRST WORD, the Roaring Fork Valley\u2019s first and only Youth Poetry Slam Team, to the Poetry Brothel on Wednesday,\u00a0August 10th\u00a0at 8pm. FIRST WORD poets have won several regional poetry slams and gained critical acclaim for their honest, raw, and thought\u00a0provoking spoken word. The Poetry Brothel will be in the Parlor at Justice Snow\u2019s and is free to attend.

Members of FIRST WORD performing on the 10th\u00a0include Alyssa Szczelina, Haley Ameral, Julia Lee, Kyah Green and Owen O\u2019Farrell.

“Spoken Word is a powerful and meaningful art form,\u201d says Julia Lee. \u201cHow often is it that you get to hear the raw scribbles of someone’s soul, to\u00a0listen to something so intensely poignant?\u201d

“The reason I have chosen poetry as my means of self expression above all other art forms is because of its gritty stinging rawness and it’s\u00a0gripping beauty. Words have the power to tear people apart and build them right back up again, and that amazes me. I wanted to use the magic in\u00a0my truth and in my words for the purpose of making people feel something. The ears must accept what the mind already knows, the truth. And\u00a0the truth is what I will speak,\u201d says Alyssa Szczelina.

Owen O\u2019Farrell adds, \u201cPoetry, to me, is a gateway to the innermost workings of my mind. It is a way to oil the gears as it were, and touch base with\u00a0what’s true.\u201d

Justice Snow\u2019s invites everyone to come out to support these young artists. Audience members are also encouraged to bring their own works to\u00a0read during the open mic portion of the evening.\u00a0There is no cover charge for the event, but guests are requested to RSVP to (970) 429-8192 as limited seating is available.

FIRST WORD is a youth group open to all poets aged 13 to 21, free of charge. Their mission is to encourage young people to find their authentic\u00a0voice and express their truth about how they experience themselves and the world they live in. During the summer the group meets at Steve’s\u00a0Guitars in Carbondale on Wednesdays at 1:30PM. Once school begins FIRST WORD will meet at Steve’s Guitars on Mondays from 4PM on. All\u00a0young poets are invited to stop by and participate or just observe.<\/p>\n
