Spoken word artist David Romero conducts workshop with UNE鈥檚 English Club students

On March 2, UNE鈥檚 English Club sponsored a workshop, titled 鈥淪elf-love and Beauty,鈥� by David Romero, a Mexican-American spoken word poet and activist.
Romero performed pieces of his own poetry on the topic of self-image. He then led an exercise in which the students worked as a group to collectively create a poem that represented their concepts of self-love. He concluded the workshop by guiding the students to individually write their own poems, which they shared with the group.
English Club President Alanna Sachse described the event as 鈥渧ery inclusive鈥� and 鈥渞elaxed.鈥� 鈥淓veryone was able to share without being nervous,鈥� she said.
Club member Melanie Calicchio agreed. 鈥淚t was both entertaining and interactive! A great introduction into the world of spoken word art,鈥� she stated, adding, 鈥淩omero鈥檚 passion was palpable!鈥�
