August 25: Working Class Poetry in Oklahoma City

 2011 Oklahoma Laborfest poster art by Carlos Tello.
Help Oklahoma poets celebrate working class Oklahoma – an evening of soil, sweat and soul. Western Heritage Award-winning poet Ken Hada will MC a program featuring some of Oklahoma’s leading poetic voices. Among the featured readers scheduled, Dorothy Alexander’s striking perspectives of rural Oklahoma, Shirley Hall’s clarion voice for social justice, Jason Poudrier’s Purple Heart experiences and Bob Bearden’s labor poems are certain to entertain and inspire.

From 7-9pm at the 46th Star Auditorium, Downtown Library, Oklahoma City.
