Sight Line: A Poetry/Photography Collaboration is a partnership between the graduate poetry students of John Poch, professor in creative writing, and graduate photography students of Rick Dingus, professor in photography, who have encouraged their students to create collaborative and individual works of poetry and photography during the Spring semester of 2013.
About the speakers:
