ANN ARBOR – The University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities is marking National Poetry Month with its interactive Poetry Blast.
The monthlong celebration invites members of the U-M community and the general public to write, read and hear poetry in a variety of ways.
“During the past year many of us have felt stressed, anxious and alone; we’ve had fewer ways to connect with others or even with our own feelings and emotions,” Peggy McCracken, director of the U-M Institute for the Humanities said in a statement.

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. – The steeple stretches into the sky, towering above the trees just beginning to show fall colors. Around the chapel are other buildings fronted by columns that stretch two stories up, with ornamental arches and crests atop doorways. These are the halls where students once slept, ate and studied for decade upon decade.
But the steeple of Annie Merner Chapel, like leather seats in an old car parked in the sun, has cracks. The paint on the chapel is peeling. The woodwork needs repair. Students no longer cross the threshold to pray, worship or get married.
