Massachusetts Statewide Poetry Calendar

The FSU English Department is excited to invite back to campus our talented alumnus, Enzo Silon Surin '00! Enzo is a Haitian-born award-winning writer, poet, educator, publisher, and social advocate. He is the author of three collections of poetry, including When My Body Was A Clinched Fist (Black Lawrence Press, 2020), winner of the 21st Annual Massachusetts Book Award for Poetry, and the chapbook, A Letter of Resignation: An American Libretto (Central Square Press, 2017), as well as the co-editor of Where We Stand: Poems of Black Resilience (Cherry Castle Publishing, 2022). Enzo’s work gives voice to experiences that take place in what he calls “broken spaces.” Co-sponsored by the Framingham State University English Department, Office of Development & Alumni Relations and Center for Inclusive Excellence, this year’s Miriam Levine reading, a free event, is made possible in part through a grant from the University’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion. Please visit the event website for further information, including reservations and parking information.
