Get Lit x Kelly Clarkson Show
This week, Get Lit founder Diane Luby Lane appeared on the Kelly Clarkson show with student poets Sierra Leone and Jason to demonstrate the power of the poetic voice. After talking with Diane about the Get Lit model and the poetic new wave of spoken word, Kelly shared the ways poetry has influenced her life as a singer/songwriter.
Jason and Sierra Leone then read their own original poetry and brought Kelly Clarkson to tears.
