“If you are no stranger to wild winds and wilder horses, ravens and roadkill, waves of mountains and seas of grass, then the poetry of Wyoming and the West is a language you already speak. If you have ever ached for words to describe something beautiful or terrible or both, the struggle a poet makes to speak truly is one you already know.” – Poet B.J. Buckley

They will be on campus on Thursday, March 31, at 7:30 p.m. This program is free and open to the public.

Buckley and Senior-Trask will discuss their work and read poetry inspired by the life and landscape of the American West.
