Poetry on Campus

Hey Wildcats!

So you may notice in the next couple of days some large poster boards with different titles. These boards will be placed in different locations around campus. On these boards, we hope you will contribute a line or two of your OWN poetry that connects back to the board’s specific theme. Use your imagination and be creative! Once the boards are full, we’ll be sure to send another email with the completed poems that you guys have written!

Thank you so much for your cooperation. We hope everyone will have fun with this and keep it professional, as this is for our final assessment in Modern American Poetry!

Thanks again,
Hannah Gagnon, Paul Accorsi, Nell Heidinger
