SUMMARY:I'll Fly Away: A Sojourn Through Poetry and Spirituals - Whatcom READS
DESCRIPTION:What connections\, what traditions could help people cope with 
 being forcibly transported from one continent to another? The literary and 
 artistic forms of spirituals and poetry not only tied communities together 
 socially and artistically during slavery\, but also continue to enrich the 
 multicultural fabric of our state today through the work of contemporary 
 African-American poets\, musicians and artists. Award-winning poet\, 
 performer and distinguished scholar Gloria Burgess explores the rich\, 
 beautiful heritage of spirituals and poetry from the African-American 
 tradition in a spirited sojourn through words and music. This interactive 
 presentation covers the sometimes hidden meanings of specific spirituals 
 and poems\, including how the art helped people cope as they were 
 transported from another culture. Registration required.
