In
this Happenings at the Harman: Readings on Disability
event,
three literary masters share their perspectives on life
through the lens
of
disability. Lynn
Manning,,
an award-winning poet, playwright, actor, and former Blind
Judo Champion of the
world,
has appeared on television, in commercials, and at theaters
across the globe.
His
autobiographical solo play, Weights, was presented
Off-Broadway, at the Kennedy Center, at The National Black
Theater Festival
in North Carolina, as well as in Zagreb, London, and
Edinburgh.
Anne
Finger's evocative and poetic writing provides a candid and
often moving reading
of
her life. In her memoir, Elegy for a Disease,
she merges personal and historical narrative, exploring how
polio was viewed and
dealt
with in the years before the Salk vaccine was invented.
Riua
Akinshegun, a performing and visual artist, writer, and
poet, combines chanting, onomatopoeia,
and
dramatic reading to bring images and stories to life.

event is free. For more information, click
