Celebrate Long Island Through An Evening Of Poetry

In conjunction with Dowling's annual theme "Celebrating Long Island," the Mu Tau chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society, will host "An Evening of Poetry" by Long Island Poets on Monday, November 6 at 7:00 p.m. Sigma Tau Delta established the Mu Tau chapter at Dowling College in 1987 and is comprised of active and associate members. The event will be held in the Hunt Room, located at Dowling's Rudolph Campus in Oakdale. Refreshments will be served.

Readers will include Daniel Thomas Moran, the Poet Laureate of Suffolk County and at least three Dowling College professors, Virginia Walker Ph.D., Professor Julie Sheehan, an adjunct member of the English Department and William Thierfelder, Ph.D. Dr. Walker's work has appeared nationally and is represented in The Light of City and Sea, published by Street Press, a recent anthology of verse by Long Island poets that she also helped to edit. Sheehan will read from her book, Orient Point. Dr. Thierfelder will read from his collection, How the Dinosaurs Devoured the Humans, published this past May. Poets from Nassau and Suffolk will join them to share their work.
