McCullough involved with National Poetry Month

In honor of National Poetry Month, Winona’s Poet Laureate Ken McCullough (Academic Advising, PASS program) will give poetry readings at the Owatonna Public Library April 5 and the Brick House Coffee House in Austin April 8.

McCullough recently judged the state finals of the Poetry Out Loud! competition at the Fitzgerald Theatre in St. Paul. The 16 finalists were drawn from 3,600 contestants in 93 schools. McCullough was also involved in judging submissions for the forthcoming SELCO poetry anthology. He has been invited to participate in the International Literary Festival in Lviv, Ukraine, in September.

McCullough also recently had a collection of poems come out with Longhouse Publishers.
