Join us for a poetry reading from Serena's latest book, "Artists' Paradise Pieces of Life volume 3". Books will be for purchase and signing after the event!

From the author of Reconstruction, Pieces of Life Volume 1, The Awakening, Pieces of Life Volume 2, and Crying Tears of Teal comes a poetry book filled with the diverse genres and beauty of the arts! Artists' Paradise, Pieces of Life Volume 3 is Serena’s dedication to her love for the arts and the innumerable ways art has impacted her life. Artistically crafted verses illuminate some of her life experiences:

—as a little girl mesmerized by the intricate choreography of her mother’s African dance company, The International Afrikan American Ballet

—as a teenager riding the New York City subway captivated by dancers and rappers performing on the platform and trains

—as an artist coming into her own, communing and collaborating with other artists, painters, musicians, and writers

—as a professional, employed with arts education organizations

—to the present as a master Poet and craftswoman of spoken word
