Kathleen A. Lawrence
Kathleen A. Lawrence, Communication and Media Studies Department, had her poem, “Three's a Crowd,” published in Hay(na)ku 15, edited by Eileen R. Tabios for Meritage Press, xPress(ed), & Paloma Press. Also, she had her poem titled “Scarlet Letter” published in New Verse News the last week of September. The poem, written as a scrambled abecedarian, looks at the use of the word “accuser” when talking about women in the news, like Dr. Christina Blasey-Ford, for giving testimony about sexual assault identifying powerful men. This was one of several poems Lawrence has written lately that reflect the use of poetry for reflection about news stories, current events and elements of popular culture.
