"As a poet, Cynthia Hogue writes exceptionally lyrical verse that stays with you--the way a lullaby can resonate in a beautifully quiet way," says Dr. Sascha Feinstein, chair of the English department at Lycoming College and co-director of the Creative Writing Program.  "As Director of the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell, she has hosted scores of important and memorable poetry readings. She's a woman of many talents, and I'm delighted that she has agreed to read here."
