This March, audiences are invited into a powerful and deeply human theatrical experience when Poetry From My Brain Parts premieres at the Cotuit Center for the Arts, March 19–21, 2026, with performances Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 PM.

Created and performed by interdisciplinary artist and poet Tamora Israel, Poetry From My Brain Parts is part living memoir, part spoken-word concert, part movement piece, and part communal ritual. Rather than telling a linear life story, the production pulls audiences inside a living mind, following Tamora at different stages of her life as she navigates self-worth, trauma, racism, mental health, love, grief, and healing.

This is not poetry as ornament.
Poetry is the lifeline.
