A sonnet is basically a chorus, and Shakespeare was basically a rapper. But Shakespeare’s got NOTHING on a SZA and Isaiah Rashad collab. Well, at least that’s what our next Friday Night Salon guest author, poet—and Girls Write Now Fellow!—Sam Arriozola, thinks. Jump into Sam’s favorite Valentine’s Day playlist as we connect the history of Hip-Hop with ooey-gooey love poems in this Friday Night Salon.
As an added Valentine’s Day bonus, Tommy Valtin-Erwin, the Program Administrator of First Wave Hip-Hop and Urban Arts Scholarship Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will be joining us to share information on how to apply for a FULL TUITION scholarship with your poems, your art, and your love (of Hip-Hop).
At Friday Night Salons, a special guest artist shares their personal and professional journey and guides us through a series of inspirational writing prompts.
