Join Henk Rossouw, a poet and visiting assistant professor in the University of Houston’s Honors College to learn more about the materiality of language in Christopher Knowles: In a Word. Rossouw will speak about the enticement of poetry outside the frame of the book, the role of everyday urban repetitions—the chorus of the city, and the composition process.
