Poems to fill Promenade Park
COREY MCMAKEN | The Journal Gazette
April is National Poetry Month and Promenade Park will be filled with poems Saturday.
Riverfront Fort Wayne s Poem Scavenger Hunt includes 21 works by a mix of modern and classic writers such as Emily Dickinson, Maya Angelou, Shel Silverstein, J. Patrick Lewis and Mahogany L. Browne.
People don t usually think of poetry as an activity, so it is cool to see this come together as an active event, says Jenifer Brown, special events coordinator of Riverfront programs with Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation.
Brown, who calls her self a “huge lover of poetry,” says Riverfront always focuses on education and exposing the community to different areas of arts and culture.
