Professor of English and poet Marc Hudson and four students from his advanced poetry course celebrated the last day of National Poetry Month with a visit to Crawfordsville's Carnegie Museum on Saturday.

More than 80 local residents and students from elementary schools and all three county high schools attended this first-ever "Poetry Day" at the museum, enjoying the chance to hear poetry read aloud and to try their own hands at writing poems of their own.
