Six@Six Lecture Series:

Historical Poetry of Frank X Walker

Feb. 25, 2020— Northern Kentucky University continues the Six@Six Lecture Series with English Professor Kristine Yohe discussing the historical poetry of Frank X Walker. The latest Six@Six lecture is Feb. 27 at The Mercantile Library.

Presented by Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement, Dr. Yohe will focus on selected works of Frank X Walker, a former Kentucky Poet Laureate and co-founder of the Affrilachian Poets. Yohe will share selections from Walker’s poetry and show how his historical poems reanimate forgotten, hidden and disempowered African American figures- from civil rights leaders to a Kentucky Derby winner.

What: Reckoning with the Past: The Historical Poetry of Frank X Walker
When: Feb. 27, 2020 at 6 p.m.
Where: The Mercantile Library | 414 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, OH
