The third Poetry Echoes of Expression event, staged by poet Richie Innocent, is scheduled for September 26 at the Queens, New York headquarters of VP Records. Like previous stagings, he said exposure for spoken word artistes is its main objective.

“The opportunity to recite and recognise that the people need to be lifted up through poetry, stories, songs, books and plays is essential,” Richie Innocent told Observer Online. “Therefore, the space at VP Records is pivotal to the construct, influence and rippling impact that reaches those who find the show beneficial to personal growth and development.”

Richie Innocent is the main act for Poetry Echoes of Expression. He will be joined by Marcia Jackson — who performed on the previous shows; Blaq Ice, Yabez, Ras Igus, Killa Boo and Burnett Coburn.
