On July 24th, Brockton Poetry Series welcomes featured poet Iris Lapaix:

Iris Lapaix is a Dominican-American Afro Latina native to Boston, MA. She utilizes various art forms–such as but not limited to poetry, music and cooking–in her rotation of pleasures. She’s been writing poetry since her youth and enjoys the beauty of painting a portrait or scene with the rhythm of words.  Graduated from Bridgewater State University with a BA in History and a concentration in Latino America y el Caribe. Currently, she is igniting art and design in neighborhoods such as Grove Hall and Roxbury with MassArt’s Center for Art and Community Partnerships (CACP) as an assistant Community Coordinator. Off-hours she continues to learn of her ancestral past while strengthening her empathy and listening skills to become a radical healer through the arts and conversation starter for Black and Brown folks.
