Guest Poet Series


For many years the English Department has hosted a Guest Poet series, bringing to the College two poets every academic year. Poets invited to read have included nationally well-known names as well as others whose names may not yet be so well known, but whose work merits attention. In recent years, Galway Kinnell, Donald Hall, Daniel Hoffman, Sharon Olds, Mary Oliver and Marge Piercy have read on campus, as well as Steven Behrendt, Maria Mazzotti Gillan and Ronald Wallace. The readings are free to the whole community, and include a reception and book signing open to the public.
