SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Discussing Doggerel with Reginald Dwayne Betts
DESCRIPTION:Reginald Dwayne Betts’s latest poetry collection\, Doggerel\, explores themes of Blackness\, masculinity\, vulnerability\, and intimacy in a unique way–through the lens of dogs. This philosophical examination of everyday life\, combined with Betts personal experiences with incarceration and life after\, integrates the political with the personal. Join us as we discuss Doggerel with Betts in the Multicultural Center at Western Michigan University. During the event\, we will encourage and welcome community members’ questions for the author. Books will be available for purchase and signing following the discussion. \nThe Multicultural Center is located in room 1021 of the Adrian Trimpe Building on the campus of Western Michigan University\, at 1003 Ring Road South. Free parking is available after 5pm. \nThis program is made possible through the generous support of our community partners: Western Michigan University\, the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership at Kalamazoo College\, the Department of English at Kalamazoo Valley Community College\, the Kalamazoo Public Library\, the Kalamazoo Defender\, and the Kalamazoo Bar Association. \nFor more information about this event and the suite of programs with Reginald Dwayne Betts\, please visit kiarts.org/betts.
