[Michlib-l] A couple virtual programs available

[bellairelibrary at torchlake.com]

Bellaire Public Library is hosting two upcoming virtual programs and 
invite you to pass on the information to your patrons. Both programs are 
free, but registration is required (to get the Zoom links).

Saturday, May 22nd, 5pm via Zoom: Poet Marlin M. Jenkins presents 
"Poetry and (Re) Imagining our World":

In line with with statements by poet Carl Phillips--"poetry [is] more a 
transformation of experience rather than a transcription of it"-- and 
poet Franny Choi--"I think my poems are almost always asking the 
question: What would it look like for this world to love us back?"--this 
presentation will explore poetry's power to imagine, ask, and transform. 
Through a mix of the author's own work and the work of others, we'll 
talk about how poetry not only helps us understand the world we live in, 
but how it plays it part in (re-)shaping our world and worlds, both on 
the page and beyond it. To register go to:

Thursday, June 3, 6:30pm: "Racial Justice" by Title Track:

This program will include music, poetry, and discussion on this very 
important topic.

Title Track's Mission: Engaging creative practice to build resilient 
social-ecological systems that support clean water, racial equity, and 
youth empowerment. To register go to:

  Both programs are part of this Spring's "Bellaire Reads" one book, one 
community program and is sponsored by BPL and funded through a grant

Association. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
