Plantains and Our Becoming

April 30 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Eat fried plantains, revel in the poetry of Melania Luisa Marte, and celebrate the last day National Poetry Month!

Marte, a truly proud Afro-Latina, writes to us in English and Spanish about “self-love, nationalism, displacement, generational trauma, and ancestral knowledge.”

Artist, Yannick Lowery is cooking us fried plantains to go with these nourishing, rich poems, and songs from around the world about—you guessed it—plantains.

“his collection uproots stereotypes while creating a new joyous vision for Black identity and personhood.” Check out Plantains and Our Becoming at the Free Library of Philadelphia.

Happy National Poetry Month!
