Janet Wong - Cultural Connections: Celebrating Diversity, Writing, and Poetry

Poetry has the potential to nurture empathy, foster compassion, develop critical consciousness, and encourage human agency. She will share her path to becoming a writer and poet, read aloud poetry, and discuss how poetry has the capacity to educate the heart as well as the mind.

Janet Wong has published more than 30 books for young people, including picture books, novels, poetry, and professional resources. She is the recipient of many distinctions including the International Literacy Association’s Celebrate Literacy award and the Lee Bennett Hopkins Award Honor for Poetry.

This event will be presented in the Gallery Lounge in the Olmsted Building on campus.
