A HIP hop artist will be the face of a new Poetry in the Park concept.
Kingston youth worker and writer Lamisse Hamouda is the creator of the concept, designed to be a pace for artists and people to connect.
Logan-born hip hop artist Ethan Enoch-Barlow will be the feature poet and emcee.
The initiative is open to anyone interested in spoken word performance ranging from new to experienced poets.
It will give established poets the chance to test their new work and allow new poets to build their performance skills and confidence.
City lifestyle chair Laurie Koranski said: “It will create a place where people can join together and gain invaluable experience.
“We encourage anyone who wants to perform or anyone who simply wants to listen to some great live performances to head to Logan Gardens for Poetry in the Park.”
Poetry in the Park will run from 6pm to 8pm on Thursday, January 28 in Logan Gardens in Logan Central.
It will then run from January to May with the next session scheduled for Thursday, February 18.
During a winter break creative writing workshops will be held before the program resumes in the park between September and December.
There will be 16 mic spots available on the night. The project is funded by the Regional Arts Development Fund.
