Thank you for joining us for the final Virtual STEM Poetry Reading Series at Farmingdale State College. Funded by a 2022 Students First Grant, this virtual, this series has two primary goals: first, to expose the FSC community to the work of poets writing about and/or working within STEM; and and second, to enhance the FSC community's engagement with STEM majors at FSC through conversation with authors about the synergistic relationship between STEM and poetry.
Let's meet tonight's readers!

Charlotte Pence’s new book of poems, Code, received the 2020 Book of the Year award from Alabama Poetry Society and was a finalist for Foreword Reviews Indie Poetry Book of 2020. Code details not only the life cycle of birth and death, but also the means of this cycle: DNA itself. Her first book of poems, Many Small Fires (Black Lawrence Press, 2015), won Foreword Reviews’ silver medal award in poetry. Both poetry books weave together personal experience and scientific exploration. She is also the author of two award-winning poetry chapbooks and the editor of The Poetics of American Song Lyrics. Her poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction have recently been published in Harvard Review, Poetry, Sewanee Review, Southern Review, and Brevity. A graduate of Emerson College (MFA) and the University of Tennessee (PhD), she is now the director of the Stokes Center for Creative Writing at University of South Alabama.
