Lead by one of our own resident poets Barbara Flaherty, the NSCC Libraries are encouraging the campus community this April to find their inner poets in celebration of National Poetry Month. Flaherty says, “There is a poet in each of us, whether one writes the words or hears the voice and resonance in another's work.”The Libraries invite NSCC students, faculty and staff to submit original poetry that the Libraries will collect and display throughout the month. Looking for inspiration? Use the Library's Poets’ Corner where Flaherty has included writing prompts. An example of a prompt: You (or a character) are closing up a beach house for the summer, maybe for the last time. How do you say farewell?
Flaherty has also created an online guide to poetry resources available in the Libraries, which could be used in conjunction with the Libraries evolving weekly book displays for potential class assignments. The displays will focus on New England Poets, U.S. Poet Laureates, and Contemporary/Post Modern Poets. Faculty might have students select a poet from one of these categories and have them study one of their work’s for an assignment. Online web links to the Library’s resources and vetted Internet sites provided in the Poetry LibGuide can help students support their own written analysis of the work.
Finally, step into the Libraries more this month and enjoy the new Knopf Doubleday Publishing Poem-A-Day on display each day.
Flaherty’s published works include Beach Rain and Memory and metaphor: new and collected poems, 1993-1999.
