Poetry Palooza

Poetry+Palooza

It’s April. If you are a genuine, devout member of the poetic cult of Seuss like yours truly, you know that April is a very important time of the year for writers!

With National Poetry Month being the name of the game, it’s only natural that an educational establishment such as Southern Vermont College would be practically bursting with people looking to strut their stuff, so-to-speak.

In a college that so exuberantly supports the betterment of its students (not just from a knowledge standpoint but a creative perspective as well), a month like April can hardly be allowed to go uncelebrated. Additionally, amongst the SVC community I’m sure that writers of all sorts are here, there, and everywhere, just begging for an excuse to bust a rhyme. Well, here’s your excuse!

The SVC Theories of Writing Class, headed by Daisy Levy, is arranging a fitting event amongst the residents of the school; It’s our very own Poetry Palooza! We’ll have loads of fun events- poetry madlib sessions, community readings, showcases, and exquisite corpse to name a few.

All participants are welcome, and encouraged to bring along some of their own works to share with like-minded peers. Our three guest speakers Heather Lanier, James Crews, and Jenny Dunning will be making an appearance for the first half of our event with their very own original works (guaranteed to knock your socks off!)

All these great things will take place on Monday, April 23rd from 5:00pm-6:30pm at the LAC. If you have time, please join us! Bring your friends!

Oh yeah, and we’ll have snacks.
