We invite you to join the Wick Poetry Center as we celebrate 40 years of bringing poetry to life at Kent State University. We’re here today because of the generosity and belief of supporters like you.
Our founding director, Maggie Anderson, once said, “Poetry is a way of speaking when ordinary language won’t do.” In these times—far from ordinary—poetry has been a guide, a way to hold and make sense of our complex emotions: our grief, our joys, and everything in between. Poetry gives us the language to bring the world together, especially when words alone feel like they fall short.
As we look forward to the next chapter, every gift, no matter its size, helps us continue the work of poetry, creating space for healing, understanding, and expression. Thank you for being with us on this journey and for helping poetry continue to thrive at Kent State and beyond.
