Join us in celebrating the 30th National Poetry Month with our final event of the year: WPI Poets. We are excited to welcome our first alumni reader, Gerald Yelle! A published poet with several books and chapbooks to his name, Yelle will share selections from his work alongside readings by current WPI students.

Wednesday, April 29, 3:30–5:00 pm
Gordon Library, Conference Room 303

Stick around after the readings for a casual conversation with our poets about their creative practices and experiences.

Happy Friday! More headed to you for at 📚
