Conceived on the stoop of Cannon’s East 3rd Street residence\, the workshop served as a creative incubator held before the Nuyorican Poets Café’s Friday Night Slams — allowing poets to refine their work and perform it the same evening. An extraordinary roster of poets participated in the Workshop\, including reg e. gaines\, Edwin Torres\, Tracie Morris\, Dana Bryant\, Mia Hansford\, Keith Roach\, Paul Beatty\, Willie Perdomo\, Dael Orlandersmith\, Ed Morales\, Ra\, and Mike Tyler. \nBuilding on Cannon’s ethos of “Each one\, teach one\,” The Stoop Project expands the original vision of the Workshop by inviting a wide array of guest facilitators to carry forward its spirit of collective growth\, experimentation\, and intergenerational exchange. \n  \nABOUT THE FACILITATOR\nJeanann Verlee is the author of three books: prey (finalist for the Benjamin Saltman Award)\, Said the Manic to the Muse\, and Racing Hummingbirds (silver medal winner in the Independent Publisher Awards). She has received a National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship\, the Third Coast Poetry Prize\, and the Sandy Crimmins National Prize. Find her at jeanannverlee.com.
