SUMMARY:Poetry Marathon for Peace
LOCATION:SFBC Fellowship Hall\, 1111 Harvard Ave\, Seattle\, WA 98122
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 24\, 10:00am-4:00pm in the Fellowship Hall I
 n coordination with friends across the globe\, Seattle First Baptist invit
 es YOU to participate in a global marathon of poetry for peace! We will be
  joining people from all over the world who will be reading poetry during 
 this same time period. What we invite you to do: Sign up to "sponsor a tim
 e slot" that you can fill any way you like! You can have one individual re
 ad their own poetry for a half an hour\, have several people read poems th
 ey like\, lead a group poetry exercise\, create a video of poetry to share
 \, or even bring an instrument to share poetry through music! It's up to y
 ou how you fill that half hour. But I'm not a poet... Good news! You don't
  have to be a professional poet or writer to participate! We hope that peo
 ple of all ages will be inspired to share poetry in all its forms with our
  Seattle community. What subjects or themes can the poetry be about? We ab
 solutely welcome poems about peace\, but they do not HAVE to be\, they can
  be about anything! We believe that sharing poetry is one way to create mo
 ments and places of peace in our world. Content note: We require all poetr
 y shared to refrain from any racist\, sexist\, homophobic\, transphobic\, 
 xenophobic or ableist language. We respectfully ask that poetry that conta
 ins explicit language not be shared. We know that some poetry touches on t
 hemes that are most appropriate for adults (i.e. war\, violence\, sexualit
 y\, etc.) and may be included if a content warning is shared. If you have 
 questions about the content of poetry you'd like to share\, the organizers
  would be happy to talk with you\, so please note "content question" on yo
 ur sign-up. Is this for all ages? Yes! We will have specific time slots wh
 ere there will be child-friendly poetry. We cannot guarantee age-appropria
 te poetry outside of these specific times. I don't want to read publicly b
 ut I'd like to come and listen: can I? YES\, please do! We need an audienc
 e. Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054FAAA82EA4FBCF8-6468
