“We are pleased to have Jennifer Knox come to Waldorf University for a poetry reading as part of our Distinguished Visiting Writer Series,” said Ryan Clark, assistant professor of English at Waldorf University. “Jennifer is an accomplished poet with an extensive resume. We are lucky to have someone of her caliber come to Waldorf University.”
