I am also on assignment to go (my professor for advanced poetry workshop, Ms. Meena Alexander, is reading). Also exciting - I've never seen Howe read.
Please come. It's free. It features Hunter College Faculty and we need more solidarity in the English Department!
here is the repost from poets.org:
