Thursday, July 25, at the University of Kansas, Eugene B. Redmond discussed poetry, his completion of the the landmark work
Drumvoices: The Mission of Afro-American Poetry, his role as Poet Laureate of East St. Louis, his work as a activist-poet, and a range of other issues. Jerry W. Ward, Jr. facilitated the interview, which was part of
Don't Deny My Voice: Reading and Teaching African American Poetry.
What follows are a few photos that I took during and after the Redmond event.
