In 1989, teenagers fell in love with poetry (and several actors) thanks to this film, which launched a thousand high school literary journals and poetry clubs.

Take a look and remember why poetry is essential to life.

The West End Poetry Festival is another great event hosted in and by the town of Carrboro. Events start tomorrow (Thursday)! Here is the schedule and some work from featured poets whom you can see and hear this weekend (also available in the free October print issue of The Carrborean which you can find around town).
