Description
The Lowell Lecture Series, in conjunction with the Suffolk University English department and the newly created Suffolk University Poetry Center, brought renowned author Maxine Hong Kingston to the C. Walsh Theatre on Tuesday, September 28, 2004 to speak about her experiences growing up as Chinese-American woman, writer and activist.
Kingston, author of “The Woman Warrior,” “China Men” and “The Fifth Book of Peace,” among others, took the stage before a full theatre after being introduced by English professor and Poetry Center director Fred Marchant. "I feel honored to help inaugurate the poetry center," Kingston said. "Poetry, I feel, is the highest endeavor of civilization. It might be civilization itself".
