Horton Society Conference
"Reflecting Back, Looking Forward in African American Poetry"
Third biennial poetry conference focusing on African American poetry
sponsored by The George Moses Horton Society at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Horton Society, an affiliate organization
of the American Literature Association, was conceived by Dr. Trudier Harris
in the Spring of 1996 as a way to encourage sustained scholarly focus
on the works of African American poets and to foster presentation and
publishing opportunities for that scholarship.
The "Reflecting Back, Looking Forward" conference aims to combine
critical analyses of African American poetry with the act of creating
and performing poetry. In addition to scholarly sessions, this
conference will feature award-winning poet Sonia Sanchez as our keynote
speaker. Houston Baker, Jr. and other local and national poets will also
perform their work.
