Destroy Your Exams!

Friday, December 17th - 12pm-3pm - JSQ Library Maker Space and via Webex

Tired of looking at your exam papers at the end of the semester? Want to do something creative to have catharsis after the stress of exams?

Come to the Journal Square Library's Makerspace on December 17th from 12pm-3pm for Destroy Your Exams!

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to bring leftover paperwork and exams that they are planning to throw away or recycle to the library on December 17th to destroy them, and then rearrange the pieces into a collage poem. The library will have scissors, shredders, and other destruction devices to help you have a truly memorable experience destroying the old and creating something new.

There will also be a virtual option, along with virtual tools to "destroy" your virtual documents and rearrange them into a work of art. To join virtually, use the following link: https://hudsonccc.webex.com/hudsonccc/j.php?MTID=mf5395913a18bca7ee8e18ed474471ce9

Friday, December 10th - 1pm-2pm via Webex

The HCCC Poetry and Language Collective presents It Became a Wild Horse: A Creative Writing Workshop on Turning the Mundane into the Poetic.

Professor Eric Adamson and Poet Rebecca Ansorge will present a workshop on taking the mundane, everyday happenings of life and finding the poetic value in them. Come join them on Friday, December 10th at 1pm to learn some strategies for finding that complex poetry in the simple things. The workshop will use Yi Lei's poem "A Single Woman's Bedroom" as a jumping off point for our own mundane poetic ambitions and will finish with participants writing their own poem.
