Lares Annex (the inside area in Lares Cafe that overlooks the duck pond), 1600 Woodland Rd, Abington, PA 19001, United States

In partnership with Brendan Johnson from the library, Dr. Justin De Senso is hosting a Student Wellness Rap Cypher for National Poetry Month. Refreshments will be served. All are invited to attend and participate. . . . . Dr. Justin De Senso will lead students (and faculty & staff!) through on-the-spot storytelling in verse over hip-hop instrumentals. This event offers a window onto his current book project (co-authored with Dr. Johnathan J. White of PSU Greater Allegheny), A Love We Need: American Democracy After 50 Years of Hip-Hop. This cypher will surface two of hip-hop’s cultural throughlines: truth-telling and solidarity.
