The Lecture: Poetry Reading and Craft Talk
Featuring Dasan Ahanu
Come out for a distinct and engaging poetry experience! This event is dedicated to southern voices, lyricism, and poetics. Join our special guest as they share their works and put them in conversation with the music and poetry they love and are inspired by. The goal is to celebrate the wordsmiths that move and motivate us and speak to the moments that make us.
Dasan is an award-winning poet, spoken word artist, and emcee continuing in a long tradition of southern wordsmiths. A student of craft. A speaker of truth. A griot looking to bring his words to life on stage. He has performed across the country, crafted works for the page, stage, and record, and has released seven books of poetry.
Books signing by the author will follow the reading and talk.
