Havre Daily News staff

Montana State University-Northern Assistant Professor in English Gwen Hart, Ph.D, will present “Never Be the Same: Finding and Following Poetic Imagination” in a brown bag luncheon Monday.

Seating for the luncheon is freely available but RSVPs are appreciated for providing lunches.

In her presentation, Hart will cover the theme where do poems come from?

Her answer is, everywhere.

In the presentation, Hart will introduce her newly published volume of poetry, “Never Be the Same,” and share insights about her creative process.

Hart holds degrees in creative writing and argumentation. She is the author of two chapbooks and three full-length poetry collections. Her second collection, “The Empress of Kisses,” won the X. J. Kennedy Poetry Prize from Texas Review Press. Her third collection, “Never Be the Same,” was published in February 2023 by FutureCycle Press. Her poems have appeared in over thirty literary journals and anthologies.

Her special interests include poetic forms and writing about popular culture. She is a member of the Academy of American Poets and the Popular Cultural Association.

Hart’s Brown bag lecture will be from 11 a.m. to noon in the Applied Technology Center’s Hensler Auditorium on the Northern campus.

Brown Bag Lectures allow faculty across all disciplines at Northern to showcase their work and to build a sense of community inquiry and interest around that work. Campus and community members are welcome to attend.

Presentations last about 1 hour. Seating is freely available but RSVPs are appreciated. A sack lunch will be reserved for people who fill out an RSVP at https://www.msun.edu/otle/brownbag.aspx.
