POETRY NOIR - Exploring universal moments in black-and-white films with poetry.

Poetry Noir is sponsored by the
Montgomery County
Poet Laureate Program

The mission of Poetry Noir is to explore the universal moments presented or "spoken" in Black-and-White films with poetry writing.

We will feature a film clip and challenge you to observe the film and to capture in words the poetry evoked by the cinematic moments.
