Students at St Edmund’s Catholic Academy celebrated National Poetry Day by entering a competition with the theme of Identity. The prize was a workshop with Nigerian rapper/ poet/hip-hop artist BREIS (Brother Reaching Each Inner Soul), a remarkable live performer who has performed worldwide with his fusion of Hip Hop, Jazz, and Afrobeat rhythms. BREIS is also a published author of books called Brilliant Rappers Educate Intelligent Students and Diary of a Creative Mind.
During the workshop, BREIS gave students feedback on their poetry and had the opportunity to hear some original music by BREIS.
School Librarian Sarah Smith said, “This was a fantastic opportunity for students to perform their work in front of a real-life poet.Ā Ā Students were thrilled to welcome BREIS and watch him perform.”
Students were presented with a selection of Breis’ poetry as a thank-you for their amazing performances.
