February 4, 2025 at 3:20 p.m.
Ivy Tech Community College Warsaw invites the community to a February Poetry Celebration at Miller Hall, 2545 Silveus Crossing, on Feb. 12 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. featuring 2024 Indiana Poet Laureate Curtis Crisler.
Crisler calls his work “an urban Midwestern sensibility” (uMs), which “exemplifies the community and creativity of the varied relationships of descendants from the first through second waves of the southern migration, exploring their connections to place/environment, history, family and self.”
He has been awarded fellowships, residencies, grants, and awards for his work across the country. His works have also been adapted to theatrical productions in Chicago and New York. He’s currently a professor of English at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Find out more about Crisler on his website.
This event is free to attend, and pre-registration isn’t required. A free lunch will be provided after the presentation.
