About Poetry X Hunger
Poetry X Hunger is bringing a world of poets and their poems to the anti-hunger cause. We are using poetry to raise awareness, compassion and funding. And, speaking of funding, by holding poetry fundraisers, we magically turn poetry into food. In recent years, we’ve raised thousands of US dollars for anti-hunger organizations.
About EC Poetry & Prose
We are a collective of poets and writers who believe in the power of language to convey truth and promote peace. Our members are spoken word artists, published authors, and emerging writers. Our founder and partners are from Howard, Anne Arundel, and Frederick Counties; members reside throughout the state.
