#GrowFierce is a poetic showcase featuring New York-based emerging women poets. Springing from the Digging Deep, Facing Self writing course to light up the stage, these alumni women weave moving narratives of star dust, open veins, blossoming gardens, poetic switch blades, roller skates and prophetic tea leaves.

Come watch words shift the world with poets Melinda Gonzalez, Juju Angeles, Sabina Ibarrola, Sonia Guiñansaca, Giselle Buchanan, Maiga Millbourne, Annette Estévez, Christina Rodriguez and Tina Stumpf, along with an opening reading by poet and course facilitator Caits Meissner, and musical performance by special guest Shira E.
