SUMMARY:The Black Matter Is Life: Poetry for Engagement and Overcoming - Love\, Love\, Love\, feat. Jericho Brown
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Join us this winter for a virtual series of public conversations entitled\, The Black Matter is Life: Poetry for Engagement and Overcoming. In this series\, we will explore and discuss the rich tradition and innovation found in African American poetry. \n\nPoetry is a powerful art form\, one that offers profound insights into what it means to be human. Through the creative\, succinct\, and melodious use of language\, poets render into words their joys\, their challenges\, their vulnerabilities\, and their discoveries\, thus providing shape and meaning to the human connection and shared emotional experience. \nIn the wake of our nation’s current unrest\, this program is designed to build bridges across the racial divide by introducing the audience to the writings of a number of African American poets whose work has shone a light on a rich cultural heritage that has often gone unexplored. This program asks the audience to consider how African American poetry provides tools for healing our nation’s deep racial wounds. \n\nTo begin this exploration of the vast diversity within African American poetic tradition\, UNH professors Reginald Wilburn and Dennis Britton will facilitate three online conversations. Each discussion deconstructs four poems grouped by themes. Conversations will center these poems within the context of the African American literary tradition\, their cultural heritage\, the traditions they encompassed\, and the relevance this tradition has to us today. The series will also explore the question\, ‘Why does African American Poetry matter?'” \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqdu-vqz8oG9MzJH1DYmxo_GMc5qQrRn7c
