Romance was in the air on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at Epsilon Gamma Iota’s 2nd annual Lover’s Lane Poetry Night.Refreshments and drinks were served, and the atmosphere was set with soothing R&B classics that played before the show began. The night was introduced by Epsilon Gamma Iota’s Master and Mistress of the Ceremony, William Alexander and Shamalle Payton.
Many students showed up to listen to rhymes from poets such as Trademark, who performed “Timeless Love” and other poets like Duece and Timbo. Along with poetry, there were also performances by R&D who sang Tamia’s “Officially Missing You” and Brittany Tarver who performed one of her own songs.
The ceremony pleased many students. Senior Terell Moore said, “It was nice I enjoyed it. I liked the originality of Tre Hood and Willie P” He also said, “It opened my eyes to a world I never took that much interest in.”
Many other students agreed with Moore’s comment.
Junior Eric Carter said “It was very entertaining.”
