Hope College Visiting Writers Series

In Holland, Michigan, arriving on a delayed flight and whisked from the airport to the reading hosted by Hope College, I found myself on stage in a renovated movie theater. Every seat appeared to have been taken. A student jazz group was warming up the crowd. I was overcome with paranoia; everyone would steal away when the poet rose and approached the podium. I was wrong. It was a memorable evening.
--Maxine Kumin, "Audience," in The Eye of the Poet
