Event Details
Kansas has a rich history of wonderful poets, and this presentation will explore and present the work of eight contemporary pioneers who roamed the wheat fields, tallgrass, and landscapes of the Sunflower State, fashioning words into moving stanzas.
Following the 50-minute presentation, there will be a 10-minute break. Dennis will then lead the group in poetry prompts followed by an optional time of sharing.
About the presenter: Dennis Etzel Jr. is a Kansas poet and senior lecturer at Washburn University.
This presentation is part of Humanities Kansas's Speakers Bureau, featuring humanities-based presentations designed to share stories that inspire, spark conversations that inform, and generate insights that strengthen civic engagement.
