Anita D is a spoken word artist and slam poet born and raised in Brockton. After moving to San Diego in 2013 she began to treat poetry as more of a career and less of a hobby. She was a member of the 2016 San Diego Slam Team that went on to take second place at nationals. She has since featured at many open mic venues, colleges and universities across San Diego and Boston. She hosted workshops for high school students on both coasts. Most recently, she appeared at The Staples Center and performed during an WNBA game.

July 25th: Brockton Poetry Series featuring Jevon Bernard

On Tuesday, July 25th, Brockton Poetry Series welcomes Jevon Bernard:

Despite having no initial interest in poetry, Jevon Bernard started writing and took up the stage name Bottom of the Magical Hat in 2015 after some personal setbacks. He now uses poetry and art as outlets for emotions and thoughts that run through his hormonal, sporadic fireworks buffet of a mind, including but not limited to: the meaning of existence on a micro and cosmic scale, relationships, depression, daddy issues, and just about anything else a restless young person needs to describe in words.
