In-person Humanities Kansas lecture by Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg.
Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University, 701 Beach Lane, Manhattan, KS 66506
Our weather is some of the most dramatic in the world, and relationship to weather shapes how we see ourselves. This presentation features photographer Stephen Locke’s vibrant images of Kansas weather paired with poetry by contemporary Kansas writers inspired by the drama that unfolds in the Kansas sky. We’ll discuss our own weather-related stories and how weather shapes our lives, understanding of the natural world, and identity. The museum’s current exhibition, Sunrise over Kansas: John Steuart Curry, will be an added inspiration for the conversation.
