February 1, 2022 • SPEAKER SERIES • Native Poets: In their own Voices with Alice Derry and Kate Reavey

$0.00
Sold Out

Please join us for this 2022 Virtual Speaker Series event on Tuesday, February 1. Alice Derry and Dr. Kate Reavey will team up with K’Ehleyr McNulty, Brenda Francis-Thomas, and John Boyd to talk about the inception and continuation of a writing group for Native writers, mostly from the Olympic Peninsula, now called Native Poets. Reavey and Derry will talk about the history of the group and Native writers McNulty, Francis-Thomas, and Boyd will share some of their poetry.

A shared dedication to building community through art, writing, and listening led Reavey and Derry to create the Indian Voices writing group (now Native Poets) in 2009. Native Poets brings members of the Makah, Lower Elwha Klallam, and other tribes together at the Elwha Heritage Center in Port Angeles. Through the pandemic, the group has continued working together in a Zoom format. Reavey is currently a professor at Peninsula College, in Port Angeles; Derry retired in 2009.

Reavey and Derry also coedited Where Thunderbird Rests His Head and Waits for Songs of Return, a collection of poetry and prose by Native Americans on the North Olympic Peninsula — with other poets stirred in, such as Tess Gallagher and her late husband Raymond Carver. That book was part of the 2011 events celebrating the demolition of the Elwha River dams and restoration of salmon runs.

Once registered, we will email you a Zoom link for the event. If you do not receive a Zoom link, please email us at info@friendsoftheodorereothke.org.

Thanks to generous support from
the Ohio Arts Council, Arts Midwest, and the National Endowment for the Arts, our Speaker Series is free through May 31, 2022.

All Speaker Series events take place via Zoom on Tuesdays at 7:00pm EST.
