A night of poetry

February 3, 2016 -  

Yvonne Gilmore hosted a riveting forum on poetry on February 1, featuring guest artists and her own spoken word poetry. Among the highlights of the evening was a collaboration between Dean Gilmore and pianist Braxton Shelley. Mr. Shelley is an MDiv student in the Divinity School and a PhD student in the Department of Music. In addition to being Associate Dean, Ms. Gilmore is also a member of the Cornel West Theory band. The evening began with a service in the Chapel of the Holy Grail, at which House Scholar Danielle Cox preached, and included a festive meal prepared by Chef Luke Joyner featuring empanadas, roasted plantains, and Mexican hot chocolate.
