Originating Calendar: Campus Humanities Calendar; The ancient poet Sappho coined “sweetbitter” in one of her most evocative verses, still striking us to the heart nearly three thousand years later. But who was Sappho? RBML’s new exhibit will explore the enigmatic figure as poet, muse, and icon through the millennia. The opening reception will evoke an old form of a symposium: a party with spoken words and dance! This event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served.
