Poetry is the expression
of human experience.
It is the
voice
when finding ourselves
past and future identities.
Poems are a universal noise
bringing truth from silence
on our lived experiences in
race,
gender,
sexuality,
ethnicity,
religion,
health,
and family.
These verses,
in whichever form they take,
are the hopes,
dreams,
rage,
and tears
that move our lives.

To compliment the works featured on the 2021 list, an additional 200 poetry books grace the shelves of our Featured Display next to the Research & Information Desk on the main floor of the John C. Hitt Library.
