Spring 2024: Poetry reading & Senior Project presentations

Written by: Sean Bernard

On Tuesday, April 23, current students and their poetry instructor read original poems to a group at the Ludwick Sacred Space. Haley Albertson, Anahi Beltran, Lily Bower-Moore, and Sara Dawidian all showed off their impressive talents, reading a variety of formal (ghazals, centos) and free verse poems. They were followed by their instructor Sara Ellen Fowler, reading several stunning pieces from her new and award-winning collection Two Signatures.
