Oxford Conference for the Books

Lily Peter Award winner, Robert Griffith, read his poem "33"at the Oxford Conference for the Book held in the Overby Center at Farley Hall. "Your voice is starlight in the dark and I can't help but think God is dumb." Griffith wrote this poem in dedication to his wife and this poem, like many of his others, takes a comedic route as he describes his love for his wife.

Nicole Cooley reads from her poem "September Notebook". A poem that highlights the tragic experience of  9/11, as well as, Hurricane Katrina. "Once upon a time, there were two September in two cities," read Cooley. "the one of the towers on fire and the one of the floodwaters rising."
