Expression can be displayed in many ways through art, song, and poetry.

Inspired by Beah Richards, Anthony Prewitt was led to start Poetic Z101. Richards is an actress profoundly known around the world for her roles in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, The Miracle Worker, and Beloved, and who has won countless awards for her integrity for leadership and service of arts and African Americans.

Poetic Z101 serves as a vent to relieve common stress by expressing yourself through poetic expression, verbal interpretation, and discussion in an environment where you don’t have to veil from the way you feel or be threatened by your views.

“To have somewhere that has no boundries, no repercussions, and no malice against the way you feel is the atmosphere of Poetic Z101,” said Prewitt.

Among expressions, other topics discussed include:

• Campus Life • Greek Life • Reviews on poetry and songs • Global issues

They also vote a ‘Person of the Week” every meeting. Last week’s award winner was Assata Shakuar, an ex- Black Panther who was exiled in Cuba with a million dollar bounty on her head.

Poetic Z101 meets every Wedensday in the University Center 231 at 8:30-10:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
