INSTITUTE, W.Va.The fall season of West Virginia State University’s (WVSU) Creators Program will launch with a Creators Talk and reading by W.Va. Poet Laureate Marc Harshman Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. at the WVSU Economic Development Center (EDC) in Charleston.
“We’re thrilled to host Marc for a relaxed evening of conversation and readings,” said Daniel Boyd, Creators Program coordinator and artist in residence at the EDC. “He will read from his most recent works, as well as reflect upon his appointment and the place of poetry in the life of West Virginia and the nation.”
Harshman will discuss his poetry and read from his recent children’s books “One Big Family” and “Mountain Christmas” during the free event.
The Creators Program launched in 2012 as a series of community workshops focusing on skills and knowledge essential to creating for mass media and art. The EDC partners with WVSU Cultural Activities and the West Virginia Film Office on the series.
Workshops are designed for people of all skill levels, including students and others interested in expanding their creative endeavors.
Space is limited for Creators Program events, and registration is required. To register, visit .
