I have written poetry for at least 20 years. Last week, I gave my first poetry reading in two. My experience with poetry led me to read about Poetry Out Loud, a national creative arts competition for high school students, co-sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts.
While doctoral studies do not leave much time for penning poems, I have kept my hobby alive, and I feel pleased that many high school students are fueling their interest in the arts by participating in Poetry Out Loud. Now, if I could just get my professors to let me submit chapbooks for my final projects, then I would be set. Poems about quantitative methods, anyone?
