Poet Will Discuss Creative Process During White Fund Lecture

Mayda del Valle, acclaimed poet and spoken word artist, will present a White Fund Lecture titled “The Passion of Poetry and the Power of Artistic Expression".Chosen by Oprah’s O Magazine as one of 20 women on the first “O Power List,” del Valle has been described by the Chicago Sun Times as having, “a way with words. Sometimes they seem to flutter and roll off her lips. Other times they burst forth like a comet streaking across a nighttime sky.”
