The Let's Talk About It, Oklahoma Winter 2018 book series concludes March 20th with Neon Vernacular.
Tracy Floreani, Director of 蘑菇TVU's Center for Interpersonal Studies through Film and Literature, presents Yusef Komunyakaa's collection of poems, Neon Vernacular. This collection represents a sampling of the author鈥檚 work over many years, from his family memories, to his depictions of experiences in Vietnam as a soldier, to the abstract images that represent his long processing of that experience as a Veteran long after the war. Like Tim 翱鈥橞谤颈别苍鈥檚 stories, Komun测补办补补鈥檚 poetry converts ugly memory into beautiful language and space for contemplation.
This presentation is a part of the Oklahoma Humanities Let's Talk About It Oklahoma "War, Not War, and Peace: A Pulitzer Prize Centennial Series." All are welcome to attend.
