DESCRIPTION:Moonstone@The South Philadelphia Library \n1700 S. Broad Street \nNew Voices:\nPhiladelphia’s Emerging Poets\nA Voice for Everyone – Listen\, Share\, Connect\nJoin us each month for readings by emerging poets under the age of 25.\n\nMonday February 25\, 2019 – 6pm\n\n  \n \nDagmawe Berhanu is an Ethiopian-American poet from Columbus\, Ohio who has been living in Philadelphia since 2011. He was a member of Temple University’s Babel Poetry Collective\, a student run organization that aims to support and facilitate the progression of writing and performance art\, hosting monthly writer and music workshops\, as well as showcases several times year. In August 2018\, he was a member of Philadelphia’s team at the National Poetry Slam. Some of his works can be found on YouTube via Slamfind\, as well as on Wus Good and Voicemail Poems. \n  \n  \n \nWilquan Dorsey\, also known as QUE\, is a poet from Chester\, Pennsylvania who attends Widener University studying finance. Not only does he want to help communities financially and bring financial literacy to schools\, he uses spoken word as a platform for expression and to start conversations. \n  \n  \n  \n \nTaylar Enlow is a Black creator and Philadelphia native. For her\, the act of creating is a bodily function\, as natural as breathing or bleeding; poetry is the transfiguration of blood to ink and flesh to page. The art of poetry has always been her primary medium of self expression\, and she considers words to be the extension of both her physical and spiritual beings. More than anything\, Enlow believes in the power and significance of community construction and preservation. That belief is the primary influence of all her works and endeavors. \n  \nKrisann Janowitz\, Host – Open Reading follows
