Reading: Summon a deeper sense of self through nature with poet Jasmine Reid

Join the SCAD Museum of Art’s Evans Center for African American Studies for the latest reading in the (re)Phrase series with contemporary poet Jasmine Reid.  

Reid’s poems traverse natural landscapes, seeking evidence of selfhood that nurtures the plurality of consciousness. In this reading, Reid contends with ideas of legibility, opacity, and validity. Amid the luminescent palette of Ann Craven’s moon paintings, Reid’s poetry bridges the lushness of both artists’ mediums, illuminating the expansive wilderness of nature and identity.

This event is free and open to the public.
