On May 20, 2019, the Honors Program sponsored a poetry reading by Diana Arterian. 

The event was held from 3:00-4:00 in the Haugland Commons on Lane’s main campus. Students who attended received a free copy of Diana’s book, Playing Monster : Seiche.

Diana read many poems from this collection followed by some poems from her current project, a manuscript of poems about Agrippina the Younger. She described the research she conducted for this project, including a trip to Rome.

After the reading and Q&A session, students stayed on to have their books signed and to talk with the poet.
