It was so much fun interviewing the poets and listening to them talk about their passion for writing.
Seeing the students warm up to the poets was amusing--if you look at the photos, you can see that they avoided the front row of seats entirely. By the end of the reading, however, they were really into it. Some read their poetry to the poets, and others were fully inspired to submit their work to the press as well as to the Poet's Seat Contest next year.
Also, Abbot Cutler (pictured below with fellow poets Cindy Snow, Amanda Doster, and Janet MacFadyen) used to be my adviser and poetry professor at MCLA, so it was awesome to see him again and catch up.
