"Juke Box Love Song: A Celebration of Langston Hughes on the 50th Anniversary of Selected Poems" will be held on Friday, December 4, at 7:00pm in Lind Hall 150. This Department of English program celebrates poet, dramatist, and novelist Langston Hughes. The department is seeking people to read Hughes' poems (or excerpts from his plays or novels) out loud in whatever language they choose &mdash maybe even one of the poems he chose not to include in Selected Poems. To sign up, email Terri at sutt0063@umn.edu. There will be food, drink, and good company.
