A Celebration of 21st Century Poets

Writers' Village University is please to present "A Celebration of 21st Century Poets," in honor of National Poetry Month.

This online exhibit was put together to highlight the legacy and ongoing achievement of poets everywhere, to introduce a larger audience to the pleasures of reading poetry and to bring poets and poetry to public attention.

The exhibit features the work of eight poets from four countries: the United States, Canada, the Philippines and Australia. The poets whose work will be exhibited are Gwen Austin, Glennis Hobbs (Glenda Walker-Hobbs), Jeanette (Janice) Oestermyer, Rolly delos Santos, Kathy Kubik, Kathleen Therriault, Lori Romero, and Dave Nourse. These poets are members of the Senior Poets’ Workshop at WVU.

The poetry features a cross section of work including form poems such as haiban, vilanelles and sestinas. The poems cover a variety of topics from physical abuse, nature, Mount St. Helens, nostalgia, humour, persons in photographs to cats. The reader will also have a chance to find out the stories behind the poems and gain a glimpse into the poets themselves

The exhibit can be viewed here during the month of April and is accessible to everyone.
