Overview

At the Dodge Poetry Festival at the New Jersey Performing Arts Cente, poets speak their truths, bringing their stories to an audience of 17,000 – moving some to tears, but more importantly, educating and advocating for change. Another Kind of Courage features moving performances by veteran poets/musicians and family members expressing their experiences with war and homecoming. The poets are Jan Barry, Kevin Basl, Chantelle Bateman, Jeremy Stainthorp Berggren, Lovella Calica, Jacob George, Charles H. Johnson, Jennifer Pacanowski, Carlos Sirah, Brian Turner, Jon Turner, and Eli Wright. The powerful, original music is written by Tomás Doncker and Yusef Komunyakaa; and is performed by Tomás Doncker & The True Groove All-Stars.
