September 13: Dexter Roberts Features at Stone Soup Poetry

Stone Soup Poetry meets every Wednesday online from 7:00-9:00 PM via Zoom. Stay tuned for updates on any future live gatherings. On September 13, Stone Soup Poetry welcomes back Dexter Roberts.

Dexter Roberts' interest in art began with comic books, which, spurred him to sketch draw and eventually paint. His art work consists of abstract, text, symbolic and symptomatic depictions, primarily dealing with perception, representation and language. Poems surfaced in Dexter's art upon recognizing that words also have the power of "splattering the mind with images." The painter-poet is from Guyana, South America and has lived in Boston most of his life.

Dexter Roberts has appeared in or has curated numerous art shows and poetry reading around Boston and Cambridge. He is working on his first book of poems, freestyle slave style, due out next year.
