Where are you from?
0Written By Cory Fields
Monday, Oct. 17, a poetry workshop was presented by Amanda Runyon, assistant professor of English. The “Where I’m From” project stems from a state-wide project from the Kentucky Arts Council (KAC). Runyon is the KAC Representative for Pike County. The purpose of the workshop was to get participants to generate ideas about where they’re from, through poetry. This event was started to honor the Kentucky current poet Laureate, George Ella Lyson. This was the second of two workshops hosted on campus. Poems cans still be submited for the project. The deadline for completed poems is Dec. 1. You can send poems to Runyon at AmandaRunyon@upike.edu. Submissions are open to everyone, on and off campus. Poems will go to KAC unless you specify otherwise.
