Juxtaposing Public & Private: A Poetry Workshop w/ Reginald Dwayne Betts

Apr. 30

12:00–1:30 pm
Zoom

Join the Human Rights Lab for a poetry workshop led by poet and legal scholar Reginald Dwayne Betts. The workshop will focus on juxtaposing the public and private in verse as a way to deepen one’s connection to their central subject and private narrative. It will also explore the possibilities of haiku as meditation and entryway. Readings and discussion will be followed by short writing sessions to generate new work.

Presented in partnership with the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture; the Reva and David Logan Center Community Arts Program; the UChicago Program in Creative Writing; and the Seminary Co-op Bookstores.
