In spring 2021, Howe and Lasek-White worked with UGA graduate students to produce recordings of Native poetry published in the “Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry” (2020), which Howe edited with Joy Harjo (Muscogee) and Jennifer Elise Forester (Muscogee). These recordings complement prints in the “Collective Impressions” exhibition, and visitors can listen to the poems while inside the gallery. This program is supported by the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts. The event starts at 5:30 in the auditorium at the Georgia Museum of Art. Tickets are free and can be reserved here.
