Nineteen undergraduate poets from 19 area colleges and universities gathered in Boston College’s Heights Room on April 20 to recite—or perform—their work at the resurrected Greater Boston Intercollegiate Poetry Festival. The event, which until four years ago had rotated among area campuses for 15 years, was revived by a BC English professor and poet, Suzanne Matson, with support from the Office of the Academic Vice President. The students, nominated by their English departments, took three-minute turns before the microphone, and left with a printed chapbook of their poems.
