Visiting Writers

Jane Hirschfield, Poet

 

Jane Hirshfield, poet, teacher and translator (most notably of Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz), visited the Alma Campus on October 14, 2004, for a workshop and reading. She has written five collections of poetry, most recently Given Sugar, Given Salt, as well as books on poetry, such as her acclaimed Entering The Nine Gates. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly and The Best American Poetry Series. She has also been featured on NPR with Garrison Keiller, as well as on PBS with Bill Moyers.

 

Students conducting research side-by-side with faculty has been an Alma legacy for generations. Alma students team up with faculty on scholarly research or to collaborate on creative or performing arts projects. An annual Honors Day features student presentations, performances and exhibits. Many students present such work at regional, national and international meetings.
