Festival of Poetry

On April 20, SEESA held its 4th Annual Evening of Works from Well-Aged Poets. David Gillett, the emcee, opened the program with humorous tales which were enjoyed by all. Mieke Alexander, Vince Dwyer, Donalda Lloyd, Mary Cavill, Deepa Garbaria, Ken Saik and Pat Trudeau, all members of the Advanced Creative Writing class, read their poems. The readings were very well received.
