World Affairs Forum sponsors poetry readingSeton Hill University (SHU) and the City of Asylum in Pittsburgh presented an international poetry reading last week to further cultural awareness and global cooperation with our neighbors. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the City of Asylum, they are a public sanctuary for writers that are in exile from their country, town, etc. For example, they housed writers that were on the run because they were imprisoned and tortured in China for writing poetry. They are partnered with different literary programs around the globe, such as the International writers program in Iowa, to help the writers find success with their work. They are truly a wonderful organization that aims to promote free speech, international literacy and the power of one’s voice. |
