Larew in Voices of Woodlawn Presentation, hosted by The Ragged Edge Poetry Series, Gettysburg, PA
During a Writing Residency at Historic Woodlawn Plantation Estate in Fairfax, Virginia, Larew invited four African American poets to join him in writing about the largely unknown community of 90 slaves who served 9 whites at Woodlawn in the 1800's. The resulting 45-minute program of powerful poetry and music has been presented widely as a prompt for deeper discussions about America's tragic history of slavery. The photograph was taken at Woodlawn. Larew is grateful to Historic Woodlawn and to The Inner Loop for the Residency.

Marc Marcel has been declared, “One of the most controversial and consciously aware spoken word artists ever,” by radio host Palmetto Star. Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Marcel was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 10.
“It took me over a decade into my profession for me to realize poetry isn’t my gift,” Marc reveals, “Poetry is just a tool I’ve been using, to spread my gift through.” With his many artistic outlets, it is difficult to restrict himself to the labels of the art form. If one were to categorize his efforts, a philosopher would be more fitting.
