Description:

Michigan State University Professor Anita Skeen reads at the first MSU Residential College in the Arts and Humanities Center for Poetry Reading, sponsored by the MSU Residential College in the Arts and Humanities. Skeen, coordinator Center for Poetry, begins by recognizing a number of people who helped make the Center for Poetry a reality and then reads a passage from Muriel Rukeyser's book "The life of poetry." She also reads from her own books, "Outside the fold, outside the frame", "Resurrection of the animals", and her recent work with Oklahoma poet Jane Taylor, "When we say shelter". Skeen describes the process of writing poetry and what influences her and how living in Canada and New Mexico have affected her work. She closes by reading from a work in progress. Skeen is introduced by Stephen L. Esquith, dean of the MSU Residential College in the Arts and Humanities.
