A collection
of writings are closing out Sanger Library’s poetry
celebration for 2016 on the Shirley Kirshner Poetry Wall, as
“Reflective Reinvention: Just Me” is on display at 3030 West
Central Avenue in Toledo.
The exhibition
of printed poetry is featured through December 2016 and
presents an eclectic mix of perspectives designed to inspire
the community.
Comprised of
works by Imelda Hunt, PhD, founder of New Works Writers
Series, “Reflective Reinvention” is a timely narrative about
current community issues.

“Words have
always been some of the most powerful weapons in addressing
social issues and cultural challenges,” says Hunt, whose
exhibited poem, “Assimilation,” calls to mind the voices of
the Black Lives Matter movement. An Art Tatum scholar, Hunt
also included “Does A Genius?” to the exhibit, musing about
the late, great Toledo jazz musician.
“Reflective
Reinvention” is a collaboration with New Works Writers
Series. In its second decade, New Works Writers Series is
northwest Ohio’s oldest independent black theater and
performance arts organization. A 501(c)(3) non-profit, New
Works has presented plays and workshops within the
Toledo-Lucas County Public Library system, at the Toledo
Museum of
Art and at Detroit’s Charles H. Wright Museum of African
American History, to name only a few venues.
