Join Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Dr. Rosamond S. King for an enlightening reading and conversation entitled "The Perhaps Unexpected." These two esteemed poets are known for their groundbreaking work that fosters radical imaginaries. As part of the thought-provoking series "Islands & Rivers: Poetry and the Art of the Possible in the Age of Climate Change," this event delves into their poetry that is deeply rooted in critical engagement with reality. 

In the face of climate change, small island nations find themselves on the frontlines, and their responses offer valuable lessons for activists, policymakers, and leaders worldwide. By prioritizing resilience for both humans and the environment, these island nations provide inspiration for art, creative writing, critical theory, and policy application. Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Dr. Rosamond S. King possess a unique ability to illuminate the complex relationship between land and sea, center and periphery, and the interplay between islands, mainland, and maritime territories.

Mark your calendars for this free and public event, which will take place at the Elebash Recital Hall, CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. Don't miss the opportunity to engage with these remarkable poets. Register in advance to attend in-person and join the authors for a reception afterwards, where you can enjoy refreshments and explore their books. Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs, a self-described "Queer Black Troublemaker and Black Feminist Love Evangelist," is an accomplished activist, critic, poet, scholar, and educator. Dr. Rosamond S. King, a critical and creative writer and performer, offers culturally and politically engaged interpretations of African diaspora experiences. She is also the Carol L. Zicklin Honors Academy Chair and Professor of English at Brooklyn College, CUNY.

This conversation is part of the ongoing programming series "Islands and Rivers: Poetry and the Art of the Possible in the Age of Climate Change," which brings an environmental justice framework to creative and humanistic practices. The event is organized and co-sponsored by the Center for the Humanities at the CUNY Graduate Center, and GC Presents. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to be inspired and enlightened by these visionary poets.

The Metropolitan Museum is a world-class art museum in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting: 1. Extensive collections: The Metropolitan Museum has a wide range of collections, including artworks from Europe and the Americas, artworks from Africa and Asia, ancient artworks and more. These collections show the development of human art and culture. 2. Fine art: The artworks in the museum, whether they are paintings, sculptures or crafts, have made me feel the talents and innovation of the artists. 3. Interactive: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which can better understand and appreciate the artwork. 4. Educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed, and for me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art. 5. Spacious and comfortable: the museum has a reasonable space layout and makes people feel very comfortable. It doesn&rsquo;t feel crowded even with a lot of people. Overall, visiting the Metropolitan Museum was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend everyone to have the opportunity to visit.

The representative of New York, the United States, there are two lines to go, we are on the ferry, and there are speedboats to sit, but this is the most cost-effective. I went at two o&#39;clock in the afternoon. There were not many people. It was just right to come back. If I went in the morning, there were more tour groups and the queue was very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
