May 22, 2022 • POETRY PANEL • Cuttings: When Sprouts Break Out
Date: May 23, 2022 @ 5:30pm
Location: 1805 Gratiot Ave. Saginaw, MI 48602 (Roethke Home Museum)
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
Come hear new poems that began with old work. Five poets — Jim Daniels, Thomas Lynch, Kathleen McGookey, Cindy Hunter Morgan, and Anita Skeen — have selected several of Roethke’s titles and first lines from his poems as “cuttings,” and then they used those cuttings as the beginnings of their own poems. These new poems will be read at this event along with Roethke’s original poems that serve as inspiration. Poets are always in conversation with those who came before them, and this event honors how important old work is for new work. Happy Birthday, Theodore Roethke!
