On February 15, Vermont's own slam poet extraordinaire, Geof Hewitt, stopped by JSC to provide a "reading" of his poetry -- but of course it wasn't just a "reading": Geof emphasizes a dramatic recitation style that engages and excites his audience, making for a much more intimate experience. After his reading, Geof provided an extensive slam poetry workshop for JSC students aimed at helping them write and present their work in ways that had powerful effect on the audience.
Geof Hewitt is the author of The Perfect Heart: Selected and New Poems, Just Words, Only What's Imagined, Hewitt's Guide to Slam Poetry and Poetry Slam, and other books.
Big thanks to JSC Creative Writing student Nichole Dumaine for the photos below . . .
