Dasha Kelly Hamilton Presents: A Line Meant

Dasha Kelly Hamilton will give a special reading inspired by her project "A Line Meant" in the Witwen Tabernacle. One line of poetry can work like a spell, conjuring a memory for one person and pulling gospel from someone else. As Wisconsin Poet Laureate, Dasha is employing poetry lines to connect the creativity of neighbors and the humanity of strangers. "A Line Meant" is a statewide poetry exchange for traditional Wisconsin residents, including residents of Wisconsin prisons. This event is not to be missed!
