About the Event
Livestreamed: Five encounters reflecting, reciting, interpreting, and talking through the ways you can weave the experience of poetry into everyday life. Themes include the impertinence of poems in a world of prose, welcoming surprise, the poem as travel companion, the poem as consolation (and discomfort), found poems, the shape(s) of poems, music and memory, poetry as resistance and persistence, and of course the perennials—love, sex, and death. Selections mainly from 20th and 21st century American poetry, but also world literature of the past two millennia. A surprise visitor or two.
Tuesdays 7pm, Oct 13, Oct 20, Oct 27, Nov 3, Nov 10. Tickets are free, but space is limited due to social distancing. This series will be held in the Main Hall. This registration is for the livestream of the class. The Livestream link will be sent the day of the event.
