MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) – Two Michigan poets encourage you to connect with different cultures through poetry.
On Thursday night, Michigan Humanities hosted ‘Bridging Michigan: Building Understanding Through Poetry.’
The discussion featured U.P. Poet Laureate Dr. Beverly Matherne, a professor at NMU, and Michigan Poet Laureate Nandi Comer. NMU Assistant Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Shawnrece Campbell moderated the discussion.
One of the main messages from both poet laureates is broadening your worldview. At the event, both Dr. Matherne and Comer encouraged readers to consider reading authors they may not normally consider.
