Happy National Poetry Month from the Writing Center!! Stop by to review your paper and write a haiku!! Stop by or make an appointment with our Writing Tutors to review any writing assignment for any course.

Before you leave, write a haiku on our 'poetry wall' in honor of National Poetry Month!

"A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.

Haiku began in thirteenth-century Japan as the opening phrase of renga, an oral poem, generally 100 stanzas long, which was also composed syllabically. The much shorter haiku broke away from renga in the sixteenth-century, and was mastered a century later by Matsuo Basho, who wrote this classic haiku:

     An old pond!
     A frog jumps in—
     the sound of water."

Join with friends to complete that final paper this semester

Writing Center Write-In

A write-in is an event that brings writers together and offers them snacks and support for their writing process. Write-Ins can alleviate the isolation of writing alone and help foster a campus writing community. 

Writers are welcome to work on their own or alongside friends and may even consult one of the peer Writing Center tutors on duty. Peer tutors working the Write-In are accessible to anyone who enters the space.

Snacks, coffee, and hot chocolate will be provided, as well as some supplies, such as pens, notepads, and highlighters. Come join your friends and peers in a shared, supportive writing environment. 

This is also taking place during International Write-In Week, so we can post photos from the event: https://tagboard.com/IntlWriteIn/220652. ]]> Writing Center Write-In A write-in is an event that brings writers together and offers them snacks and support for their writing process.

Introduction to Poetry
By Billy Collins
I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem’s room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author’s name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.



Writing Center tutors can give you suggestions about creative writing, as well as non-fiction genres! Let your creativity flow!
