TONIGHT!

 

Rod Smith and Sarah Kennedy Lead a Seminar Discussion & Reading 

Johnson Lecture Series #4

March 17, 2011

7:00 PM

Hillel House


Contact: Prof. Eduardo Velasquez

 

Poets Rod Smith of W&L and Sarah Kennedy of Mary Baldwin College lead a seminar discussion and reading along with a commentary that explore how literary genres that are generally meant to take readers to a private experience, yet during times of crisis -- especially wars and uprisings -- serve as a crucible meant to produce real heat and action.

The title is "Desperate Times and Desperate Measures: Poetry Out of the Ivory Tower?" It is open to the public.


Smith is also editor of 
Shenandoah.
