In this episode, Melina takes listeners on a journey through the history of UCB’s Lunch Poems, a monthly poetry-reading event on the UCB campus that began in 1994. With past speakers like Giovanni Singleton and Lawrence Ferlinghetti paving the way for upcoming poets today, the resumption of in-person programming at Morrison library this year has kept the strong poetic tradition alive.
