Words on the Verge Kicks-Off 2017 Reading Series
Brockport, New York’s monthly literary sessions got off to a rousing start on the evening of January 28th with celebrated poet, inspirational speaker, and founder of HugsandFistBumps.com, Selena Cochran and Monroe Community College’s creative writing professor and founder of We All Write, a writing collective of Black women, Tokeya Graham.

Following a format where both poets read
individual work associated with a shared theme, the capacity filled-room, with
several audience members forced to stand, was captivated and enthralled with
the poignancy and vigor expressed in the selected readings. Of particular note was the two closing poems one
from each poet that drove home the multi-hued, diverse, affirming, and
qualitative characteristics that define and shape the strength and character of
women.
Hosted by writer and poet, Christine Green, and convened at A Different Path Gallery, located on Market Street in downtown Brockport, this event marked the start of the Verge’s 2017 season and made clear that this community literary event would further define and expand the creative horizon and vitality that exists in that community.
