April is National Poetry Month and some local poets are sharing their works in a unique way at a Center City coffee shop that will leave you feeling fulfilled both inside and out.
Coffee sleeves at Elixr feature a poet of the month, so each coffee comes with a poem.
This month you can drink in poet Eleanor Wilner's words, with an excerpt from her poem called "The Mulch" featured on the sleeve. She says the excerpt describes a lotus flower and captures how "everything beautiful grows from the mud." "The idea is to have a nice, surprising, delightful way to interact with an art form - poetry," adds Gross.
She met West African-born Sojourner Ahebee through the project. Ahebee is also a poet whose work was featured as part of the Heart on Your Sleeve project.Wilner called Ahebee "a gifted woman" since reading her work."One of the delights has honestly been a lot of the multi-generational connections," says Ahebee of the project."And I'm so indebted to the people who went out of the way to create those spaces for younger poets to come up in," says Ahebee.
