Poet Patricia Jabbeh Wesley will read from her collected poems, spanning work published from 1998 to 2020, at Penn State Altoona. In Ohio, poet Torli Bush will lead a workshop exploring how Appalachian poetry uses storytelling and place to challenge regional stereotypes and inspire participants’ own writing. Natalie Shapero discussed the inspirations and creative process behind her poem “The Top of Hell,” including how mythology study and an unsuccessful attempt to recall an Arnold Schwarzenegger film helped spark it.
