Alliance Voices Poetry at Barnes & Noble Union Square

Alliance’s Creative Writing Program has been empowering program participants to share their stories through creative writing since 1999. We held our annual poetry reading celebration “Voices” on Friday, April 19 at Barnes & Noble Union Square. Eight poets read their works: Azeem S. Khan, Rosa Velez, Harriet McNeill a.k.a. Star Heed, Iris Elizabeth Sankey-Lewis, April Breland, Viola Hairston, i.a. (Virgin Poet), and Nildi Avila. Their poems can be read in the latest issue of Situations, our annual literary magazine.
