Nuclear Poetry 9.16.09 - Ibrahim Siddiq

Ibrahim a.k.a Poet is not your average spoken word artist. P.O.E.T stands for Putting Out Eternal Thoughts which is exactly what he's trying to do with a whole new style and approach to poetry. The now 24 year old from Westchester, NY started writing at the age of 15 as a way to cope with his father's death. Ever since then he's be writing to help ease the pain of those around him.

Nuclear Poetry takes the audience into a 'literary bomb shelter' for a night of spoken word by candlelight with the message that everyone has a voice.

It was formed as an experiment to get New School poetry students together to share their work for a night. People seemed to like it and the series was born.

An amazing thing happened in the months that followed: people started coming and a strong community began to grow, and with it came a real sense of spirit filling the room during the shows. The event is now in its second year.

Every show is different, often taking inspiration from current headlines and events. Readers for the night include writers of all ages and levels...professors, published writers, students and beginners. Some quiet, some loud, some traditional, some experimental. It's everyone's night.

Please join us, bring an open heart and love for writing and let's make some magic.
