Ashlyn Dupree , [email protected] November 18, Jack Heflin, an English professor at ULM, invited Richard Robbins to read his poetry to students and professors and to speak to his students in his creative writing class. Many students attended the poetry reading, and most students had never been to a poetry reading before. Tony Hill, a junior secondary education major, shared that it was his first time attending a poetry reading.
Robbins had many different pieces of works that he recited, which were personal experiences and meaningful memories from his childhood and adult life. Before each poem, Robbins would comment on the personal experiences that inspired him to form the poem.
Robbins commented that it was a humorous poem of a man he knew that was always negative about everything. Because of Robbins anecdotes in his poetry, Rivera is hoping more students will be inspired to write their thoughts. Cancel reply. Your email address will not be published.
