On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Pew Fellowships in the Arts, award-winning poet, playwright, professor, and Pew Fellow Sonia Sanchez (1993) visited the Center for a conversation with her former student and Pew Fellow Major Jackson (1995), as well as a poetry reading of 10 Haikus for Max Roach. Sanchez penned the haiku to mark the passing of her friend and jazz drummer Max Roach. The work is included in the collection, Morning Haiku, published in 2010.
Stay tuned for video excerpts from the conversation, coming next week. Watch Major Jackson read two sections from his suite of poems, Urban Renewal, here>>
