| Poet, playwright and performance artist Lenelle Moïse MFA ’04—this year’s Lucille Geier Lakes Writer-in-Residence at Smith—discusses her experience teaching students in what she calls a "fiercely intellectual community." The Lakes program brings playwrights, poets, novelists and journalists to campus for a semester to work closely with students in small, workshop-style classes. |
