….I experienced so many unique poetry opportunities in April, National Poetry Month. I wrote a tribute poem to the UW Systemâ??s outstanding women of color. The best part was reading about the accomplishments of women who were African-American, Asian-American, American Indian, Spanish-speaking and biracial and then meeting them face to face. I appreciated that I was in a room full of women warriors, all ages, all races, and all bound by their determination to succeed despite hostile environments on Wisconsin campuses.
