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.
