Natasha Trethewey

I just attended a poetry reading at school with guest Poet, Natasha Trethewey.

I went to this for a few reasons 1. It is part of extra credit for my writing communication class. 2. I had 3 free hours in-between classes. 3. Why Not? No harm came out of listening to a poet recite their work.

I had never heard of Natasha before, but after listening to her story and hearing the emotion in her poems, I am very intrigued to read more from her.

Here are a few links to read a little more on her.

I may do some editing on this post, I'm on my way to my next class.
