We are delighted to have as our featured guest Tim Bagwell, long-time

Indiana, conscientious objector, and a well-known poet who has read
his work throughout the Midwest.

Tim will be joined by local artist Aaron Ammons, author of two poetry
anthologies and convener of the local Speak Cafe, a monthly event
celebrating Black Power with hip-hop, song, poetry and other spoken
word art forms.

Please come out, enjoy the poetry and re-commit to ending war.

Light snacks will be served.

For more information, contact Scott Kimball of IVAW
scttkmbll at gmail.com or Stuart Levy of AWARE stuartnlevy at gmail.com

It's especially appropriate that this will be held in the Grandpa
Wahlfeldt Family Room, named for the late Robert Wahlfeldt, a veteran
who became a fierce and outspoken opponent of war.   Thanks to the
School for Designing a Society for inviting us to this space.

Thanks *especially* to James Kilgore, who knows Tim Bagwell, alerted
people to his visit here, and is generally making the whole event
happen.   I'm looking forward to it!
