A Visual Notebook on Engagements with Poetry, Aug - Dec. 2012

During the course of the Fall semester, I was fortunate to capture several images of attendees at our events engaging poetry. Some of our "visual chronicles" on our facebook page also featured poetry, and I included images of volumes of poetry with some of my blog entries. What follows are some of the photos--providing you with visual images on what it looks like as folks participate in humanities projects focused on African American poetry.
