African-American poet and scholar Estella Conwill Majozo will read her narrative poem, The Middle Passage: 105 Days, at 7 p.m. April 3 in the Williams Brice Auditorium, the College of Nursing, Room 231. A question-and-answer session will follow the reading.
The poem expands the narrative of the middle passage by breaking the silence of captured Africans submerged in the bowels of the slave ship.
Majozo has published several books of poems, including Jiva Teling Rites. She also is the author of Come Out The Wilderness: The Memoir of a Black Woman Artist, published by the Feminist Press.
Majozo will sign copies of her work, which will be available for purchase, after the reading. Light refreshments will be served.
