Over & Over: Performance by Jennifer McClung
Sunday, 31 Jan 2010 at 3:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Jennifer McClung is a poet, artist, and musician. As a Pushcart Prize nominated poet and English instructor at Iowa State, she puts lyricism first. But as a long-time musician and the daughter of a working steel guitar player, she knows it takes more than good lyrics to make a great song. She turned down a development contract with a major record label to stick to her own fiercely independent style. And more than a decade later she has released two albums and toured the country. Join symposium participants for an informal reception following the performance. Part of the Symposium on Wildness, Wilderness, and the Creative Imagination.View the complete schedule of symposium events:
