Laura Mullen, Marthe Reed and Susan M. Schultz, a trio of poets who make up “The Poets of 1958,” will host a poetry reading from 7-9 p.m. March 29 at Volcano Art Center’s Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.
Each poet will read selections of their pieces covering a range of topics, though all write about remembrance, “whether it comes of chance or of deliberate recovery of what has been overlooked or denied.”
The evening will be a unique opportunity to discuss poetry and hear the poets read their work as they share their powerful stories. Mullen writes about abuses of power and the ways power works to protect itself rather than those who need and deserve care. Reed writes about climate change and out of a strong sense of place in southern Louisiana, where she lived for many years. Schultz has written extensively about memory and Alzheimer’s disease.
This evening is part of a once-a-month Thursday night series at the Volcano Art Center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture and the environment. The series is intended to inspire and enhance an appreciation of art and life experience, while fostering community connections.
This poetry reading is free, although a $5 donation to Volcano Art Center is appreciated. For more information, call 967-8222 or visit www.volcanoartcenter.org.
