Denison: Poetry Reading-Glover

Denison University’s Beck Lecture Series welcomes two poets, Maggie Glover, a member of the Denison class of 2005, and Paige Hill Starzinger, for two events taking place on Wednesday, Feb. 5, in the Boardroom of Barney-Davis (200 West Loop). Both Glover and Starzinger have applied their English major in creative ways and are in the beauty and fashion industry while also writing as poets. The first event is an authors’ talk at 3:30 p.m. discussing their careers. This will be followed by a poetry reading from their work at 8 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Anneliese Davis at 740-587-6207 or visit www.denison.edu.
