CANTON -- The SUNY Canton Living Writers Series is honoring Native American Heritage Month with a guest speaker whose poetry deals with the marginalization of Native people.
Santee Frazier will speak at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20 in the Richard W. Miller Campus Center's Kingston Theater. The event is free and open to the public.
Frazier, a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, will read from his recently released poetry collection, "Aurum," which, according to the publisher, captures the vibrantly original language in Frazier's first collection, "Dark Thirty," while taking on a completely new voice and rhythm.
"Santee's poetry creates indelible images in the mind that linger long after the words have disappeared," said Living Writers Series creator and SUNY Canton Associate Professor Phil K. LaMarche.
Following the reading, North Country Public Radio's Station Manager Mitch Teich will lead a question-and-answer session with the audience.
Frazier previously visited the college in 2013 to read from his first collection. Many of the themes and characters from "Dark Thirty" are continued in "Aurum."
Frazier is the director of the Institute of American Indian Arts Low Residency MFA Program in Santa Fe. His poems have appeared in Ontario Review, American Poet, and Prairie Schooner, among others.
Frazier's appearance is the final Living Writers Series event of the fall semester. The series resumes Wednesday, March 30, with author Danny Ramadan. For more information about past or upcoming guests, visit www.canton.edu/writers.
