Pine Technical College liberal arts faculty members are planning the Annual Poetry Reading for Tues. April 13. The event begins at 7 p.m. in room 20, the auditorium, and features famed writer Ed Micus as the headline act. PTC students and the public are encouraged to attend and welcome to participate in the Open Mic portion of the event.
"We're looking forward to hearing our students' original poetry, and of course, we're delighted to have Ed Micus this year," PTC liberal arts faculty member Stacey Foster says. "This is a chance for our students and the community to express themselves artistically onstage and with a live audience -- we're very proud of putting together this event," Foster adds.
The event's feature act, Ed Micus, is an alumnus of Minnesota State University, Mankato, and on top of publishing a book of short stories, Landing Zones, and a book of poems, The Infirmary, many of his works have appeared in The North American Review, Poetry, The New York Quarterly and others. Additionally, Micus has won several awards in writing, including an Emerging Voices Award from The Loft, as well as a Loft McKnight Award in Poetry.
The Annual Poetry Reading is a free event, and refreshments will be served. For more information, e-mail Stacey Foster, fosters@pinetech.edu.
