She provided refreshments and found a location for the reading. Stacie Levy, a Hartwick freshman, assisted Burk by designing posters to inform the campus about the reading. Burk said that the majority of the people who participated were not enrolled in the Women and Poetry class, although many of Wesley s students were present. Women wrote most of the poems read aloud. Burk said that this factor may have been because the poetry reading was advertised as being part of the J-term course.
Many people read their own works of poetry.
People were free to do whatever they wanted, said Burk, I especially liked the portion in which people read their own works. Burk said that she would be interested in organizing more poetry readings and hopes future readings are as successful as the J-term reading was.
