Lecture with poet Roger Bonair-Agard

The White Pine Festival (June 17-21, Stillwater and Hudson) presents a free lecture with national champion slam poet and festival host Roger Bonair-Agard. Admired both for his captivating stage presence and evocative writing, a New Yorker originally from Trinidad, much of Bonair-Agard?s work deals with politics, cultural identity and the notion of home. A talented poet in any context, Bonair-Agard truly comes to life before an audience, and his charisma made him one of the most popular performers at both the 2007 and 2008 White Pine Festivals.
