Poetry Extravanganza

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oswego chapter.

The Poetry Extravanganza was held on Thursday night in Hewitt Union Ballroom where a large group of students came to listen and share. The night was an opportunity for veterans and new comers of a poetry slam to share their talents in the art of creating poetry. It was a night of inspiration to see students of SUNY Oswego express themselves so openly in front of a crowd. There is an abounding amount of talent running through the creative minds of these poets that was well appreciated by the audience. The night also included a very talented guest poet who had the crowd laughing at her powerful and entertaining pieces.

Kaitlin Provost graduated from SUNY Oswego, majoring in journalism with a learning agreement in photography. She grew up in five different towns all over the Northeast, eventually settling and graduating from high school in Hudson, Massachusetts. Kait now lives in the blustery town of Oswego, New York, where she can frequently be found running around like a madwoman, avoiding snow drifts taller than her head (which, incidentally, is not very tall). She has worked for her campus newspaper, The Oswegonian, as the Assistant News Editor, and is also the President of the Oswego chapter of Ed2010, a national organization which helps students break into the magazine industry. She hopes to one day work for National Geographic and travel the world.
