I’ve thrown words like rocks and hit something in a room when I aimed /

for a window. One student says when he writes, it feels /

like nothing can stop him, and his laughter unlocks a door. He invites me /

into his living.  —Nothing, Krysten Hill

 

Join us for a student showcase of original poems inspired by Hugh Hayden: Home Work. Hayden’s surreal sculptures and installations engage with foundational aspects of the American dream: home ownership, labor, sports, and, significantly, education. Explore the exhibition as students read their original compositions, a culmination of a semester-long collaboration with the English Department’s Poetry Workshop led by Jacob Ziskind Poet-in-Residence Krysten Hill.
