| | Poetic Visitation : UVM The View |
 | | Galway Kinnell, looking every bit the poet in a tweed jacket, longish graying hair and thick glasses, shared his personal passage into poetry, creative inspirations and writing techniques with UVM students on Sept. 17, as sunlight poured through the stained glass windows of John Dewey Lounge. |
 | | Later that afternoon, Kinnell read “The Bear” and several other poems, most of them autobiographic reflections full of sensual imagery of nature, animals, human emotion and what he calls “the realm of the ordinary.” Staff, students and faculty crowded into Memorial Lounge for the reading, many finding seats on the floor. |
 | | Modernism was in vogue when Kinnell began writing, and his initial attempts to share his more lyrical work in a college class met with criticism. |
