It's time for the
6th
Arcadia Poets Symposium!
poetry reading and panel discussion
to be held on
Tuesday, Oct. 15, 4 to 5:40 p.m.
Amphitheater of the Dining Services Building
“The Role of the Poet in Society” University Seminar is sponsoring this event. As part of the course, we are inviting published Arcadia poets (faculty, staff, and students) as well as spoken word artists who regularly perform in public to participate in the symposium. Participating poets will be asked to read/perform 1-2 original poems and join our discussion about the role poetry plays in the world today.
The purpose is three-fold:
Of course, it’s also a chance for you to share your work and thoughts with others on campus who are interested in poetry and are writing their own. And it will be fun!
Professors (whether joining the panel or not) who normally teach at that time are welcome to bring their class along, and/or to invite their other classes to attend. Contact Ellen Murphey by Sept. 30 if you would like to be included, and note whether your students will also attend.
If you accept this invitation to join our panel, please email two poems and a brief bio no later than Monday, Oct. 2. Students will be provided these materials so that they can sample your work and generate some questions in advance.
