National Poetry Month, launched by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, is an annual celebration in April that aims to highlight the importance of poetry and poets in American culture, encouraging people to read, write, and share poetry.The University Libraries, in collaboration with The Upstate Institute and the Adirondack Center for Writing, will be circulating a poetry machine throughout the Village of Hamilton in April.Pay attention the next time you’re at Case-Geyer, Flour & Salt, MOMs, or the Hamilton Public Library. You might encounter the ACW’s Poetry Machine.The Poetry Machine is an old capsule machine, the kind you might spend two quarters to get a bouncy ball, sticky hand, or small plastic alien from in the vestibule of a convenience store. With our machine, you can get your very own poem (for free—no quarters necessary).Inside the Poetry Machine are 10 different poems. Each one features a unique style of poetry, including haiku, cento, epistolary, list, ode, ekphrasis, prose poem, how-to, erasure, and cut-up.If you want to "check out" more poetry, visit the poetry display on the third floor of Case-Geyer.

Today's Events | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
Through an ongoing series of community conversations, the artist and architect Suchi Reddy has been in dialog with students, faculty, staff and townspeople throughout the 2024-2025 academic year to learn about the ways in which our encounters with reflection and misreflection in physical and digital spaces contribute to our experience of bias and belonging. A culmination of the year's conversations, Bias and Belonging poetically reframes the Colgate community's embodied experience of belonging in woven, textual and digital forms. Bias and Belonging is the latest iteration of Reddy's ongoing exploration into embodied states of being that reflect our individual and collective experience as we code switch and transform in evolving environments both digital and physical.Presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation*.Join us for the exhibition opening reception and gallery talk Friday, April 4, 4 p.m. (part of Arts, Creativity, and Innovation Weekend 2025).*The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence was established in 1986 as a challenge grant in support of the arts at Colgate. The residency program permits one or more artists to become part of the Colgate community every academic year.*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors. If driving a distance, please contact the department (315-228-7633), during regular working hours, to ensure the gallery will be open. The gallery is not open during university breaks and holidays.

Today's Events | Ho Tung Visualization Lab
Dive into the startling world of fast fashion through this Vis Lab screening of The True Cost brought to Colgate's campus by University Museums. This conversation was inspired by two current exhibitions on display: Unraveled: Labor and Meaning Behind Weaving at the Longyear Museum of Anthropology and A Thought is a Thread at Picker Art Gallery.About the film: This is a story about clothing. It’s about the clothes we wear, the people who make them, and the impact the industry is having on our world. The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically. The True Cost is a groundbreaking documentary film that pulls back the curtain on the untold story and asks us to consider, who really pays the price for our clothing?Inspired to take action after the screening? Take part in the Swap & Stitch event hosted by ALANA and First@Colgate on 4/16.Pizza and beverages will be served.This event is part of the Office of Sustainability's 13 Days of Green series leading up to Earth Day.Co-Sponsored by University Museums at Colgate and the Office of Sustainability.
