Nandi Comer, Michigan’s poet laureate, is stopping in downtown Lansing to host a free poetry workshop and reading.
Comer was appointed last April, becoming Michigan’s first poet laureate since 1959 and the second in the state’s history. She said it is crucial for the state to invest in the arts through establishing mentorships and supporting training programs for emerging artists.
“This weekend’s workshop will really concentrate on the things that we love that we tend to forget to celebrate,” Comer told WKAR.
The workshop will begin at noon on Saturday at the Capital Area District Library’s downtown location. Comer names the workshop an “Ode to Ordinary Things: Taking Time to Celebrate the Mundane”.
