We are all familiar with the crops that are grown in our area. What about the foods that come from a very different part of the world? Joe Fahey will take you behind the scenes in Latin America to learn about growing and harvesting crops such as coffee, bananas, sugar, cocoa and more.

Poetry might seem irrelevant when it comes to contemporary issues such as global warming, economics, and civil rights.  Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980), grappled with poetry's place amidst the turmoil of her era, exploring industrial malfeasance, racial inequities, wars, gender, sexuality, and other issues. Working against the grain of dominant literary trends, Rukeyser theorized the utility of poetry.  During this presentation, we will delve into Rukeyser's documentary poem, "The Book of the Dead" (1938) on the Hawk's Nest Tunnel Disaster, to analyze her work and explore ways in which we can personally harness its potential.
