Event Description: Claudia Rankine, one of today's most recognized and best-selling poets, will appear in a Coe College Marquis Series event on Thursday, Jan. 21, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Sinclair Auditorium. Rankine's award-winning poetry focuses on contemporary social issues, especially racism. According to a review of her work in The New York Times, "The challenge of making racism relevant, or even evident, to those who do not bear the brunt of its ill effects is tricky. Rankine brilliantly pushes poetry’s norms to disarm readers and circumvent our carefully constructed defense mechanisms against the hint of possibly being racist ourselves."
