An event billed as “Working Class Poetry” will run from 7-9 p.m. tomorrow night, Thursday, Aug. 25 at the Downtown Library in Oklahoma City. Kenneth Hada of East Central University in Ada will serve as emcee.
“Help Oklahoma poets celebrate working cllss Oklahoma with an evening of soil, sweat and soul,” Hada, a frequent presenter at McAlester Public Library events, said.
Among the poets featured at the event will be Dorothy Alexander of Cheyenne, who read from her works at McAlester Public Library last week. “Along with Dorothy Alexander’s striking perspectives of rural Oklahoma, hear Shirley Hall’s clarion voice for social justice, Jason Poudrier’s Purple Heart experiences and Bob Bearden’s labor poems which are certain to entertain and inspire,” Hada said.
