ROMANCE FUELS ‘LOVE AND HONORS’ POETRY AND PROSE READINGS

Passion inspires both provocative poetry and sensuous storytelling. It’s also the force behind a special Valentine’s Day edition of the University of Houston’s Poetry and Prose Reading Series.

The event, “Love and Honors,” will feature readings from the UH Honors College faculty and students 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14, in the University of Houston Honors College Commons on the second floor of the M.D. Anderson Library. Admission is free and complimentary refreshments will be available.

The Poetry and Prose Reading Series is coordinated by UH Libraries with cooperation from UH’s Creative Writing Department and The Honors College. Poetry and Prose readings are held three times a semester.

“Three years ago, the Honors College was asked to put together an event with a Valentine's Day theme, and ‘Love & Honors’ was the result,” said William Monroe, executive associate dean of the Honors College and professor of English. “It turned out to be the most popular event in the entire Poetry and Prose Reading Series.”
