Join us in welcoming Chicago poet and visual artist Krista Franklin for a workshop at University of Puget Sound (Wyatt 109) at 7 pm on April 14. Her work explores the intersection of “poetics, popular culture, and the dynamic histories of people of color," using collage, hand papermaking, installation, poetry, letterpress, altered bookmaking and performance. Take a look at Krista's website, www.kristafranklin.com, for images and links to publications. Also, check out Krista's poem "Manifesto, or Ars Poetica #2" on the Poetry Foundation website here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbAuPl-XvuI> (she begins at 6:00). Please get in touch with Michael Haeflinger at mhaeflinger@pugetsound.edu with questions. This is an all-ages event and we encourage students from local schools to attend. *Intro to Visual Poetry* Thursday, April 14, 2016 7:00 p.m. Wyatt Hall 109 Free Sponsored by the English Department, Intercultural Engagement, and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
