Creative Expressions: Poetry
Slam – Voices be Heard!
Thursday, June 25, 2020 - 5-6pm
The
SUNY Empire community has a rich and varied artist community. Join us and meet
our faculty, staff, student, and alumni artists to learn a little about their
creative expressions, their process, and them. Our artists host a Q&A
session following their presentations/performances.
Creative
Expressions happen every Thursday at 5pm in Zoom at this link - https://bit.ly/CreativeExpressionSeries.
Featured on Thursday, June 25th
will be live readings of poetry submitted by faculty, students, staff, and
alumni. Join us for an evening of listening
and reveling from the poetic voices of our SUNY Empire State College community.
We put out a call for poetry expressing
the energy of exultation and indignation, embodying willfulness, sharing
memories, or bearing witness. Our community responded in profound and powerful
ways. Come hear their voices. Luxuriate in the artistry and performance of the
spoken word.
Faculty member and award
winning poet, Mindy Kronenberg; graduate student Lynn Saum (also alumna of the
Classes of 2018 & 2019); and faculty member Lisa D’Adamo-Weinstein serve as
your humble organizers of this first Poetry Slam session.
Weekly
host: Lisa D’Adamo-Weinstein
Note: If you missed our
previous sessions or cannot make it this week, all of the sessions are recorded. You can also view all of the
recordings and materials from the series at this website.
