The English Department and Women's Studies invites all UTC Faculty, Staff,
and Students to attend the poetry reading of
        MARIJO MOORE-
        The Healing Power of Words

MariJo Moore is an author and poet of Eastern Cherokee, Dutch and Irish
ancestry.  Her writings take integral meaning as they stem from dreams, her
Cherokee ancestry, and the many voices of Spirit.  Writing has brought
healing and deeper understanding in her life.  Through her
lectures/literary readings and creative writing workshops, others can also
find healing and inspiration through their own written words.


"In the modern world, poetry is often shunned in favor of other forms of
writings, in favor of technology, in favor of laziness.  It takes one's
whole being to swallow a poem, to allow it to digest, to incubate, and then
expose its deepest meaning in a moment of reflection.  In times of
confusion, poetry as truth can offer healing."    -Marijo Moore

The event is to be held in the Guerry Center, Flag Room on March 9, 1999 at
8:00 p.m.
Please visit the Women's Studies web site for more information on the poet
and her work.
