CuseCulture Magazine is out to prove that a great time in Syracuse is not predicated on the day of the week. Their inaugural “The Colors of Love” poetry and art event was held tonight at Nikao Events on Burnett Avenue. The roster included poets Rae Sunshine, Symphony, and Hassan Stephens.

They were joined by singer Starlett Brown and painter Wil Anthony.

This regularly scheduled event will take place on select Mondays each month.

Also, the fall issue of CuseCulture will coincide with another public event at the Community Folk Art Center in October.

Syracuse is extremely fertile ground for poets, writers and story-tellers. Here is a sound clip from a reading done by Jackie Warren-Moore (who we call our poet laureate) during the Apartheid & Identity event in Downtown Syracuse last week. Her tale illustrates that activism by women and social justice also run deep in our roots.

To find out how this story from her childhood ends, check her out during a public reading, or purchase a copy of her work.

Warren-Moore gave the reading along with Georgia Popoff and Vanessa Johnson.
