This academic year, our (mostly) first-year students have been assigned poetry-writing as a part of the Academic Writing Skills I course, taught by Henno Erikson Parks and Justin Parks (no relation). Our poetry expert and recent PhD, Elina Siltanen, selected some of the poems to be showcased here on the blog for your enjoyment. Well done, aspiring poets! <\/p>\n
High, shelved, silent rows, timeworn
\n Heavy, dusty books, with delicate black letters on solemn pages
\n Old paper waiting, listening
\n Careful steps, hushed words, earnest young students
\n August room breathing beneath a dark ceiling
\n Columns soaring, serious white busts judging, smiling
\n In-between shaky ladders, paths to knowledge<\/p>\n
