Special Program for National Poetry Month: Pick Up Your Name and Write Your Poetry
Join biographer Betty Blanks as she shares some of Wilma McDaniel's poetry and her story of moving from Oklahoma to California during the Dust Bowl. Later, OSU Oral History Professor and Librarian Karen Neurohr will lead participants through poetry writing exercises inspired by McDaniel's work. This program is appropriate for high school students and adults.
If you are interested in future poetry programs, Ralph Ellison has a recurring event that takes place on the last Monday of each month. This event has been moved to Midwest City this month because of upcoming renovations at Ralph Ellison.
