\nThe English, Foreign Languages and English as a Second Language Department is celebrating National Poetry Month with its annual Camp<\/strong>us Poetry Project<\/strong>.*<\/p>\n
Keep your eye out for full-size literary figures throughout campus that are great to use for “selfies,” as well as campus-wide poetry banners and lawn signs.<\/p>\n
This year’s Campus Poetry Project includes a new Blackboard page* with poetry, writing prompts, Threads artwork, and poetry links; poems included in The Hudsonian<\/em> and on campus digital monitors, plus an American Sign Language collaboration with Melissa Kate Adams-Silva, who teaches ASL.<\/p>\n Let’s begin the celebration of poetry with the following:<\/p>\n There is no Frigate like a Book<\/strong> (1263) There is no Frigate like a Book
\nby Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)<\/p>\n
\nTo take us Lands away,
\nNor any Coursers like a Page
\nOf prancing Poetry\u00a0\u2013
\nThis Traverse may the poorest take
\nWithout oppress of Toll\u00a0\u2013
\nHow frugal is the Chariot
\nThat bears a Human soul.<\/p>\n

Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. While she was extremely prolific as a poet and regularly enclosed poems in letters to friends, she was not publicly recognized during her lifetime. She died in Amherst in 1886, and the first volume of her work was published posthumously in 1890. (Source: Poets.org<\/em>)<\/p>\n
