See you there!

"For every poet, it is always morning in the world...History a forgotten, insomniac night; History and elemental awe are always our early beginning, because the fate of poetry is to fall in love with the world, in spite of History." - Derek Walcott #nationalpoetrymonth #derekwalcott #caribbean #poetry #dukestorylab #dukespring (at Duke University Chapel)

...I joined in the fun. Thanks to @dukelibraries! @dukeuniversity #dukestorylab #bookfacefriday #nationallibraryweek (at Duke University)

Gregson Davis - great scholar of Classics and of the Caribbean,- reads his favorite poem by his friend Derek Walcott. "Homecoming: Anse La Raye" "Whatever else we learned/ at school, like solemn Afro-Greeks eager for grades,/ of Helen and the shades/ of borrowed ancestors.." #poem #caribbean #DerekWalcott #classics #dukestorylab @fhi_duke @dukeuniversity (at Story Lab at Duke)

"Poetry can repair no loss, but it defies the space which separates."-John Berger We gathered at #dukestorylab Friday afternoon to read, recite, and rage. So grateful for this #durhamnc and #duke community of ours - you sustain me in radical hope. Here is a bit of Dorothy Clark reading Langston Hughes' "Let America Be America Again." As she points out, it was timely when he wrote it in 1935- and as it is today. (at Story Lab at Duke)

How much do I love this gift of a poem from Mr Poetry Fox? SO MUCH. My words: otherwise, story #poetryfox #artstigators @mural_durham @artsannex #durhamnc #dukestorylab (at Arts Annex)
