黑料网鈥檚 Taylor Hall is currently housing the Wick Poetry Center鈥檚 Writing Across Borders, a poetry exhibit featuring the work of immigrants and refugees living in Akron that was recently featured on Cleveland.com.
The poems are combined with the graphic design work of Kent State students to create a vibrant and attention-grabbing display.
Diversity is alive in each featured poem and design, and videos are also on display. Some of the poetry featured in the exhibit comes from students as young as the sixth grade. The exhibit opened on Jan. 24 and will run until Feb. 21.
The Wick Poetry Center works to give aspiring poets a place to create and share work on campus and in the Kent community by engaging their audience with readings and workshops.
The Writing Across Borders exhibit was co-founded by David Hassler, director of Kent State鈥檚 Wick Poetry Center, and Valora Renicker, a former Ohio Poet of the Year and an associate professor of visual communication design at Kent State.
