Founded in 1997 by Annie Boutelle, students and community members can attend poetry readings that feature nationally and internationally acclaimed poets.
This page will feature information about upcoming events at the Smith College Poetry Center, such as poetry readings, question and answer sessions and special events by students in the Poetry Concentration. The current director of the Smith College Poetry Center is Ellen Doré Watson.
