ODU Virginia Beach helps to celebrate “The Hungry Heart is Telling You”, which is the theme of this year’s 37^th Annual ODU Literary Festival. Ellen Doré Watson will be our featured poet. Ms. Watson is one of the most important and discerning, take-no-prisoners voice in American poetry. She navigates the fierce terrain of marriage, divorce, love (the hungry heart) and longing. This event is October 9th from 12:30-1:30pm with a reception and book signing to follow.
