Lecture: Poetry: Why Read It? Why Write It? Who Cares?
When: Sun., Oct. 21, 4 p.m. 2018
Poet Olivia Stiffler will use her personal journey of becoming a poet to discuss why people tend to shy away from the genre, but nevertheless search it out in times of grief. She will reflect on what she sees as a renaissance of the modern narrative poem and its power to renew and enlighten through story.
