Stone Soup Poetry meets every Monday from 7-9 p.m. every Monday at the Out of The Blue Art Gallery at 541 Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square Cambridge, Massachusetts. On July 11, we welcome back Dexter Garcia, who will be debuting her first collection of poetry. 

Dexter Garcia is a spoken word artist deeply involved in her home community of Lynn as a former member of and a Co-coach for the RAW elements Slam team. She is the author of For Blackmail: A Compilation of LOVE Poems. She has performed at some amazing events such as 2014 World Aids Day Boston and The American Voice 2015. Although a bit cynical Dexter considers herself a love poet. Her main goal is to give a little bit of her love to each audience member and hope they cultivate and grow it so they can spread it themselves. She believes cupid has no wings, just a few good poems.
