International Poetry Reading in April

People who know another language besides modern English can celebrate the beauty of language by sharing their other language with the campus and community.

It’s time to volunteer for the second annual Voices of the Hi-Line, which will take place at 7 p.m. April 11.

Co-organizers Valerie Guyant, assistant professor of English and Cristina Estrada-Underwood, director of Diversity Awareness and Multicultural Programs invite members of the community, international students, national students, faculty and staff, whether native speakers or just learning a language for the first time, to join us in celebrating our collective linguistic and cultural diversity by volunteering to read, chant, sing or sign in languages other than modern, standard English.

Selections can be original or previously published work. People need to send a copy of their selection in the original language and in translation by March 31 to be included in the program.

People can contact Valerie Guyant at [email protected] or 265-4173 to volunteer or to get more information.
