Introducing In the Pen with Roscoe Burnems, a New Series Coming to VPM Culture

What does it mean to be a spoken word artist?
How does one create content from past and present experiences, using metaphors to paint a picture for the audience? How can spoken word be an outlet for expression?
Host, author, spoken word artist and Richmond, Virginia's first poet laureate Roscoe Burnems follows several local spoken-word artists as they explore Richmond's history of Slam poetry, creating powerful content and addressing difficult topics through writing, youth poetry activism and how to get started in spoken-word.
In the Pen with Roscoe Burnems premieres on Tuesday, April 30 right here on VPM Culture.
