UCM undergraduate and Writing Center consultant Aaron Henson has published two poems in 2015. The first, “Where Conversation Goes to Die” was featured in the independent e-journal, Straight Forward Poetry. You can purchase the volume as a digital download. Henson’s second poem, “Molecules” appeared in the summer edition of MacGuffin. Henson, who moved from writing lyrics for punk bands to writing poetry, finds inspiration in the work of Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Frank O’ Hara, and Ezra Pound. According to Henson, Ginsberg and Burroughs pioneered a punk sensibility by showing that things are beautiful—by destroying those things. Starting October 28th, The Writing Center will host Grammar Happy Hour every Wednesday from 4-6. During Happy Hour, grammar experts from across campus will offer one-on-one and small group instruction on the sentence-level fundamentals of formal academic writing. Snacks and hot chocolate will be served.
