On Monday, October 25, just a week after fall break, Sigma Tau Delta, the English honorary, and the English department are pleased to announce a special workshop and performance reading of poetry by James Navé.

For over two decades, James Navé has enjoyed a national reputation as a poet and a performer (see appearance highlights). His poetry, rich with imagery, reflects a playful maturity, an intelligent curiosity, and is driven by a keen sense of narrative. His work has appeared in various publications including The North Carolina Literary Review, Asheville Poetry Review, Summit Magazine, Society of the Muse of the Southwest's yearly review, Chokecherries 1999-2003, and Jagged Edge Mountain Gear Catalogue. Of poetry he says, "It starts with the imaginative utterances in the poet's mind and continues, much as a musical score continues, long after the final draft. Poetry is meant to be read, memorized, published, put to music, and spoken out loud. Poetry is oxygen for the soul. Whenever a poets lifts a pen, the world is better off."

Come join us for a workshop on poetry writing and an evening of enjoyable reading.
