Brooklyn's In the House!
If you are in the Brooklyn area next weekend, be sure to check out this event!
The symposium “Street Literature: Love
it or Loath it” will take place November 15 at the Central Library of the Brooklyn Public Library from 9:30am to 12:30pm.
We will debate the central question whether the genre gives voice to a
sector of society that has been traditionally neglected as proper literature or
does it perpetuate stereotypes and glorify the underbelly of urban living? What is the answer to that age old adage “any
reading is good reading”.
Vanessa Irvin Morris, author of the definitive guide to street literature “The Reader’s Advisory Guide to Street Literature,” will set the table for this symposium
with a comprehensive review of street literature and moderate a panel
discussion of experts to examine the nuances of this genre from a range of
perspectives. The symposium will also feature a panel of prominent street
literature authors, including Wahida Clark and K’Wan to discuss their work,
answer questions, and meet and greet attendees.
