Spoken Word Season 6 keeps rolling on and will feature Indian-American writer, Kavitha Kolangaden this Friday, April 14th! Kavitha will start things off by sharing what she has learned during her explorations of her own faith and spirituality through her many writings and poems. She began writing short stories at the age of 13. As she grew up, Kavitha wrote for her school and local papers; and even expanded her writing styles to poems, thoughts on science, religion and philosophy. She has been published as a Medical Reviewer for Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, and contributed to her father’s book called, “In Search of God”, by writing a chapter in his book, on “Love”. After our featured artist, we invite other local poets, lyricists, comedians and whoever else is in attendance to speak. Sign-ups start at 6:30 PM and the event runs from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Admission is just $3.

Spoken Word has a simple setup: we turn on the mic and ask those interested in reading poetry, prose, free style verse, dramatic readings, stand up comedy and more keep it under 5 minutes. All are welcome even if you just want to listen rather than participate.

Converge Gallery has been hosting Spoken Word for the past five years. It’s a great way for the literary talents of Williamsport and the surrounding areas to have a chance in the spotlight. Come share your talents!
