Reading Tracie Morris Together:“The Mrs Gets Her Ass Kicked”Friday, April 25, 202510:30-12pmConversation and Celebration3222 Angell Hall
What does it mean to “read” a sound poem together? How can sound poetry help us imagine reading communities and conversations? In this event, we will listen to Tracie Morris’ “The Mrs Gets Her Ass Kicked” together and then discuss the poem and answers to these questions. We will also plan to reflect on our year of “Reading Together” events and discuss our poetry and poetics community at the University of Michigan and beyond. We will provide light snacks and refreshments and look forward to seeing you there! Participants are encouraged, but not required, to listen to Morris’ poem prior to the event (see links below).
