U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- The University of North Georgia has facilitated a scholastic rifle team since the school’s founding in 1873 (then known as the North Georgia Agricultural College). The program entered NCAA status in the fall of 2007, then returning in the fall of 2011 after the hiring of the program’s first full-time coach, former athlete Tori Kostecki.

Go, Nighthawks!

INTRODUCTION
My formal study of poetry came somewhat late, and in Boston, a city of poets. I had the good fortune of working with Andrea Cohen at the Blacksmith House Poetry Series in Cambridge, a series that my teacher, Gail Mazur had founded thirty years earlier. I took tickets, sold books, turned the lights on and off, and sat in the darkness with poets listening to other poets. Sometimes the well-known poets were on the stage, sometimes they were the ones in the audience listening to first-book poets. There were also memorable tribute readings. We were all in it together, in this magic realm of poetry in a small room that held the history of so many great poets. I learned that poets need one another and learn from one another at all stages of life and career. I learned poetry from listening, from the rhythms of different poets washing over me every Monday night. I learned to contribute. Poetry should be a world where any of us can live.
