BIDDEFORD, Maine On March 2, UNE’s English Club sponsored a workshop, titled “Self-love and Beauty,” by David Romero, a Mexican-American spoken word poet and activist.

 

Romero performed pieces of his own poetry on the topic of self-image. He then led an exercise in which the students worked as a group to collectively create a poem that represented their concepts of self-love. He concluded the workshop by guiding the students to individually write their own poems, which they shared with the group.

​

English Club President Alanna Sachse described the event as “very inclusive” and “relaxed.” “Everyone was able to share without being nervous,” she said.

​

Club member Melanie Calicchio agreed. “It was both entertaining and interactive! A great introduction into the world of spoken word art,” she stated, adding, “Romero’s passion was palpable!”
