Editor | Nov 17, 2009 | Comments 0
SIUE’s Eugene B. Redmond Writers Club annual “Break Word with the World” program this year titled “2009: Reflections & Projections in Poetry, Dance, Jazz and Visuals” starts at 6 pm Tuesday, November 17, in Bldg. D of the East St. Louis Higher Education Campus, 601 J.R. Thompson Drive.
There is no admission charge. Redmond, a professor emeritus of English Language and Literature at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and poet laureate of East St. Louis, founded the EBR Writers Club in 1986. All writers are welcome to meetings conducted at the SIUE East St. Louis Center on the first and third Tuesday, September through May.
Club trustees include famous writers such as Maya Angelou. Featured poets/performers at the Nov. 17 event include members of the Soular Systems Ensemble—Roscoe Crenshaw, Susan Lively, Charlois Lumpkin, Darlene Roy and Professor Redmond—along with Michael Castro, K. Curtis Lyle, Patricia Merritt, Jeffrey Skoblow, Lena J. Weathers and Treasure Williams. “2009” also will feature an open mic segment. In addition, the “2009 Experience in Dance,” performed by the SIUE Center for the Performing Arts (directed by Theo Jamison), also will be presented, along with “Michael’s Magic, Miles’ Smiles, Motown’s 50th, Michelle’s Show-&-Tell & Other 2009 ‘Milestones,’” a mixed media exhibit of “festivals & funerals.”
