Joanne Diaz and Abram Van Engen are podcast co-hosts Poetry for All, where they read a poem, discuss it, see what makes it tick, learn how it works, grow from it, and then read it again. During the January Series, they’ll do a live recording of their show with guest Marilyn Nelson, a three-time finalist for the National Book Award and one of America’s most celebrated poets.

Watch the livestream at White Lake Community Library 12-30-1:30pm. Hot beverages will be available, and you’re welcome to bring your lunch. You can also watch the lecture from your own device beginning at 12:30pm. Visit https://calvin.edu/january-series/ for instructions on accessing the lecture from home.

The January Series is a FREE 15-day lecture series that takes place each year at Calvin University and aims to cultivate deep thought and conversations about important issues of the day in order to inspire cultural renewal and make us better global citizens.
