Celebrating National Poetry Month

April 30, 2014 - Poetry was in the air once again this spring as students and faculty from the University of Kentucky participated in a 12-hour open air poetry reading. The event, organized by English professor and published author Julia Johnson, was held outside of the Student Center welcoming anyone and everyone to come read their favorite poems aloud. The reading itself was held in celebration of National Poetry Month and to raise awareness of UK’s growing creative writing community. Additionally, the College of Arts and Sciences Department of English are excited to announce that they will offer students a full-residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing this fall.
