About the Event
On Friday, February 25th at 7 pm, the Sims Library of Poetry will be featuring the masterful poetry of Tommy Domino, Flyy High, Hiram Sims, Yani, & Aiyana. Hosted by Woodrow Bailey. $10 at the door, no one turned away for lack of funds.
Woodrow Bailey was born New Orleans and raised in South Central Los Angeles. His creativity took flight when his mother taught him how to write at age three. His philanthropy, his career, and his writing represent those with no voice or choice in this society. Woodrow Bailey uses the words as a prose into his environment; he sees those who are left with little to no option as his audience. His writing is their testimony as he observes social issues. As the same streets he grew up on continue to be his composition book, those life lessons fuel what he stands for: Peace and Faith.
