In partnership with the Magic City Poetry Festival and Radical Reversal, Salaam Green will launch Lyrics for Life Birmingham, a ten-week poetry and hip-hop workshop series. The workshops are designed to provide creative expression, personal development, and rehabilitation for youth offenders ages thirteen to seventeen who are incarcerated at the G. Ross Bell Youth Detention Center under the supervision of the Birmingham Family Court system. The program will culminate in a published digital and printed zine featuring participants’ work and a closing ceremony attended by city officials, family court representatives, and District Attorney’s Office officials.
