Poems with Feelings: a conversation with Marie Howe
Saturday, June 21
3:30 PM
This event has ended.
Though Marie Howe is highly regarded in literary circles, she believes the best poetry is that which comes from the heart, which is why she has chosen to discuss several "poems with feelings" in this moving event. "Poetry belongs to us; it has always belonged to us, the people, not the academics. They stole it for a while but it is not theirs," Howe explains. "Poetry is what we make to express the feelings of the human tribe.… It is the story of being alive."
