Welcome to the virtual exhibit of Roger Williams University’s Poetry Walk. In coordination with National Poetry Month, this event brings together the entire RWU community, culminating in a public talk by former US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky. The outdoor Poetry Walk features original poetry by RWU students, faculty, staff, and alumni posted on signs along a campus walking path. The outdoor walk begins at D’Angelo Common, continues around the Gabelli Business School and heads down behind Global Heritage Hall.

Each selection in this virtual exhibit includes the author’s photograph and biography, followed by the poem.

I have come to be held by the trees

I have come to be held by the trees
