Discovery: A Reading and Workshop Exploring Wonder Through Poetry

Sunday, April 16, 2023

2:30–3:30 p.m. | In person

Unitarian Church of Montpelier

130 Main Street
Scudder Parker will lead a workshop on the common, but sometimes marginalized, experience of Wonder, using poetry to explore, share and initiate discussion about those moments of opening that show us who we really are and how the world could be.

​

Scudder Parker will open the session by presenting a series of poems that explore a spiritual opening in his life, and how it was shaped by his religious tradition. The session will then invite participants to share—through poems (or prose) they bring or have written--moments of opening about experiences in their own lives. There will be time for response, reflection, and conversation. The heart of the workshop will be exploring the question: How do these glimpses of wonder become knowledge that helps us live our lives; and how does poetry help this happen?

Lucy Terry Prince: Witness, Voice, and Poetics within the American Tradition 

Thursday, April 27, 2023

6:30–8 p.m. | Zoom

Lucy Terry Prince’s poem, “Bars Fight,” survived for 100 years in oral tradition before appearing for the first time in 1854 in the Springfield Daily Republican. This talk, led by Shanta Lee Gander, explores some of the roots of orality in connection with Lucy Terry Prince, the first known African American poet in the U.S. From there, we will explore how this poem's survival fits within a constellation of other poets in journeying from the oral to the written. What are some conclusions can we draw about creative lineage in relation to poetics? When it comes to the transference of poetry through oral tradition, how do we apply that to the bigger question of knowledge transference across a diaspora? These and other bigger questions alongside poetry are explored within this lecture, including Q & A. 

 

Shanta Lee Gander is an artist who works in different mediums as a photographer, writer across genres and is a public intellectual whose work has been widely featured. She is the author of GHETTOCLAUSTROPHOBIA: Dreamin of Mama While Trying to Speak in Woke Tongues (Diode Editions, 2021) and forthcoming collection, Black Metamorphoses (Etruscan Press, 2023). Shanta Lee is a producer and reporter for Vermont Public Radio and regular contributor to the Ms. Magazine Blog, Art New England, and  her current multimedia exhibition, Dark Goddess: An Exploration of the Sacred Feminine, is on view from now until December 9 at the Fleming Museum of Art.
