Lunch and Learn

PRIDE IN POETRY

Lunch & Learn is kicking off PRIDE with acclaimed poet and scholar, Stacey Waite! 

Originally a New Yorker, Stacey is the Graduate Chair of the English Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and has published four award-winning collections of poems. Stacey’s most recent academic publication, Teaching Queer, is taught at over fifty colleges and universities across the United States in creative writing, composition, and gender studies courses. Stacey returns to the Lied Center following an appearance at our curated production of Everytime I Talk About... in April of 2021. Hosts Ryan and Jane will join in to discuss Stacey’s work, poetry’s unique sensibility for telling diverse stories, and the courage required to speak truth to power. We hope you join us for our final episode of the 2020-2021 season!
