Announcing PIYP Day
Miller Library will host Poem in Your Pocket Day on Tuesday, April 29, to celebrate National Poetry Month.
First, we encourage you to carry a poem in your pocket to share with others that day. We will have some poems available in Miller Library, if you’d like one of our selections.
Second, we will be having a PIYP contest. A list of ten poems will be announced through e-mail (with hard copies available at the library) at 8 a.m. on April 29. Your task is to discover who in our campus community is carrying each poem in his/her pocket. For example, a poem entitled “Egypt Poem” by Suzy Vidal might be carried by Herb Smith, who is leading an Interterm trip to Egypt, or the poem “The Library” by Albert Goldbarth might be in the pocket of Miller Library employee Rick Robbins.
The first person who identifies all ten correctly, or the person who identifies the most by 5 p.m., will receive a $25 Amazon gift certificate.
Third, the library will host a poetry reading (time TBA) where the winners of the McPherson College English Department’s 5th Annual Poetry Contest will be announced.
More detailed contest rules will follow.
