Kay to give poetry reading next week

My friend and faithful workout partner, Kay, will be reading her poetry next week. Here's the scoop from the announcement that Saint Mary's sent out:

"The Saint Mary's College of Creative Writing Reading Series proudly
presents a celebration of issue "d" of 26: A Journal of Poetry and
Poetics on Wednesday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Hearst Art Gallery.
This event will feature readings by E. Kay Elliott, Stephen Hemenway,
and Jaime Robles.
E. Kay Elliott received her MFA in Creative Writing from Saint Mary's
College, where she was the recipient of the Elizabeth Bishop and Judith
Lee Stronach scholarships. Her work has appeared in Pleiades, Em
Literary, and Volt."

Kay has been going through some inner turmoil ever since she started editing full-time. Everyone who works in an office knows that it's hard to make time for personal creative ventures, and this is the struggle she's facing. Kay told me that she's not feeling like much of a poet anymore. I believe that if you can write a poem that's good enough to read in a gallery filled with people who specialize in poetry, then you're a poet... and you should know it.
