The Fleming Museum is hosting poets Cathy Park Hong and Neil Shepard later this month. They are the first pair of poets being showcased in The Painted Word Poetry Series, a UVM sponsored event intended to share new and exciting poetry from established or emerging artists with the academic community. Neil Shepard is a UVM graduate and well-published. Cathy Park Hong is also a fairly established poet having been published in issues of The Paris Review, Harvard Review, and Boston Review. This event offers students a chance to hear and potentially question successful artists and should entice those particularly interested in writing, as well as the general art enthusiast. All you have to do is show up. The readings are scheduled to last from 6pm-7pm on September 26th and will take place in the Fleming Museum.

The Painted Word series is an awesome and seriously creative experience. If you haven't already been to one, you owe it to yourself to check it out. And if you've been to one before, you know you want to go back to see what else is coming!
ReplyDeleteI know I am late to comment on this but I am just so psyched that you guys are including poetry in your "art scene." It gets left out way too often. I go to this event every month and have never been disappointed. I would suggest that people get there a bit early cause seats fill up.
