FIU's three Washington Avenue-based SoBe arts outposts are back online for National Poetry Month! Hosted by Jewish Museum of Florida, Miami Beach Urban Studios, and The Wolfsonian, the informative series continues with an edition that sheds light on poetry's historical and contemporary influences.

Speakers include: Deborah Briggs, The Betsy's VP of arts, moderating presentations including a reading by poets Pablo Cartaya and Pedro Medina Léon from their translation of work by Hyam Plutzik; FIU Religious Studies professor Tudor Parfitt, sharing remarks followed by a reading by poet Howard Camner; FIU English faculty Nathaniel Cadle and Shawn Christian, talking about Harlem Renaissance poetry publications; and FIU MFA alumna Chris Friday, who will share insights into her mixed-media, text-based practice.

Statement of Free Expression

FIU endorses the Florida Board of Governors' Statement of Free Expression to support and encourage full and open discourse and the robust exchange of ideas and perspectives on our campuses. In addition to supporting this legal right, we view this as an integral part of our ability to deliver a high-quality academic experience for our students, engage in meaningful and productive research, and provide valuable public service. This includes fostering civil and open dialogue in support of critical thinking in and out of the classroom, including events hosted by the university.
