The purpose of Poet’s Corner is to provide an opportunity for local poets to read their work in an informal setting and be in dialogue with the in-person audience. The readings are from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the Bennett Hall Parlor at Scarritt Bennett Center (campus map). The presentation includes questions / conversation with the audience. In addition, we are now able to take Poet’s Corner to a broader audience by live-streaming on Facebook and on our YouTube channel. The recordings will also be posted on the Scarritt Bennett YouTube  page for further viewing.
