Bellaire Public Library is hosting two upcoming virtual programs and invite you to pass on the information to your patrons. Both programs are free, but registration is required (to get the Zoom links). 

Saturday, May 22nd, 5pm via Zoom: Poet Marlin M. Jenkins presents "Poetry and (Re) Imagining our World":

In line with with statements by poet Carl Phillips--"poetry [is] more a transformation of experience rather than a transcription of it"-- and poet Franny Choi--"I think my poems are almost always asking the question: What would it look like for this world to love us back?"--this presentation will explore poetry's power to imagine, ask, and transform. Through a mix of the author's own work and the work of others, we'll talk about how poetry not only helps us understand the world we live in, but how it plays it part in (re-)shaping our world and worlds, both on the page and beyond it.

Thursday, June 3, 6:30pm: "Racial Justice" by Title Track:
