About Poetic People Power

Using the expressive art of poetry, the group has educated and inspired audiences on stages throughout New York City and at guest performances at colleges and nonprofit events regionally. Under the leadership of producing artistic director Tara Bracco, Poetic People Power has created 20 shows, commissioned 140 poems, and worked with 40 poets.

Past shows have covered timely topics including climate change, the global water crisis, inequality, pay equity, and time poverty, among others. This poetry and activism project has used art to advance social change and encourage action long before the mainstream discourse on these issues.

Art + Action = Change!
