Humanities Center Lecture Series to Feature Poet Garren Small on 'Fires Dared to Ignite'

On Tuesday, April 16, poet Garren Small will read from his collection of poems as part of the Humanities Center Lecture Series on Love and Desire. The program will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Mali 2/Dana 202. All are invited to attend.

Garren Small has written and produced short works, one-act plays and poetry in the New York City area; his poetry has been featured at celebrations of Martin Luther King and in honor of Pearl Harbor veterans, and at services commemorating 9-11.

He created and directed the New American Writers workshop on the west side of Manhattan and has developed tolerance curricula for the Holocaust Center in Glen Cove on Long Island. He lives in Manhattan with his wife, Susan Wynne Kerker, and their hilarious 7-year-old twins, Dylan Phoenix and Morgan Jackson.

An exciting line-up of scholars, performers and artists will continue on Tuesday evenings throughout the Spring semester in the Humanities Center Lecture Series on Love and Desire, led by Dr. Nicholas Ealy of the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures in the College of Arts & Sciences. All students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of the community, are invited to explore love and desire in disciplines from the sciences to the arts, media, psychology, history, film, philosophy, and literature. All lectures begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Dana 202/Mali 2 Lecture Hall, and are free and open to the general public.
