Description Black Heritage Trail NH: "The Black Matter is Life" – Continuing Conversations with Guest Poet Theo Wilson. The first in a series of poetry readings, held by Black Heritage Trail NH. Host Dennis Britton, an English professor at UNH, leads a discussion of works by Nikki Giovanni, Rudy Francisco, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Maya Angelou. "Poetry allows us to have conversations across time," says Britton. "It's the ways we project onto these poems....We live in the history of race. It becomes difficult not to read Black poetry through that history."
