 y Hennegen (SJC Santa Fe Graduate Institute 2020\, SJC Eastern Classics 20
 21\; MFA\, Boise State University) believes her best hope for grappling wi
 th what it is to be human lies in her work as a poet. As a resident artist
  with the Historic Santa Fe Foundation\, she created a poetry exhibit for 
 the foundation El Zaguan gallery and a chapbook title “To Keep the Name 
 Daughter.” She lives with her husband and infant daughter in Northern Vi
 rginia.\n\nCora Clark (St. John’s College\, Annapolis graduate 2021\; MF

 e writing at Johns Hopkins.\n\nE.J. Baker (St. John’s College\, Annapoli
 s graduate 2021\; MFA candidate\, University of Maryland) is a Korean Amer
 ican writer living on unceded Piscataway land. His work explores diasporic

 ies\n\nIn partnership with Annapolis Home Magazine\, St. John’s College 
 presents a series called Poets in the Conversation Room hosted by renowned
  poet\, author\, playwright\, and tenth Maryland Poet Laureate Grace Caval
 ieri.\n\n“Annapolis needs poetry\,” says Kymberly Taylor\, poet and Ed
 itor-In-Chief of Annapolis Home Magazine. “It needs this incredible art 
 form that helps us feel things beyond what we hear and read online\, on 
 television\, and in the news.”\n\n“There couldn’t be a more fitting 
 partnership for the college than Poets in the Conversation Room\,” says 
 St. John’s College President Nora Demleitner. “At the college\, studen
 ts spend four years reading and discussing great classical poets – from 
 Homer to Baudelaire. This is a wonderful opportunity to expose them to mor
 e modern poetry while also welcoming and engaging the Annapolis community.
 ”\n\nThe poetry series is free and open to the public. Seating is availa
 ble on a first-come\, first-served basis. Works by the featured poets will
  be on display at the St. John’s College Greenfield Library and availabl
 e to purchase at the St. John’s College Bookstore.\n\n“I think it’s 
 going to create a tremendous audience because it’s also entertaining\,
 ” says Cavalieri. “Poetry speaks to how we feel and how it is to be al
 ive in this world—and who does not want to hear that?”\n\n \n\n*Plea
 se note\, registration is for estimating attendance\; tickets are not requ
 ired.
