Anita D: Poetry & the Psych Ward

Anita D: Poetry & the Psych Ward

On August 12th, 2020, Anita D spent some Zoom time with us, performing some of her poetry and sharing some stories and wisdom during the Q & A. Anita D is originally from Brockton, MA, but currently based in San Diego. She is a two-time member of the San Diego Slam Team (2016 and now) as well as being currently ranked #3 slam poet in the world. Her performance of “And the Psych Ward Says…’ on Button Poetry first got our attention this past year--she shares this and other powerful words in this video. Recording starts with her second poem of the night, “Family Matters”, and continues through her last poem “And the Psych Ward Says…” (20:57) and onto Q & A.
