Agnes Vojta with her book, Porus Land
Dr. Agnes Vojta, a teaching professor of physics, is celebrating the release of her first book of poems, titled Porous Land. She will give a reading at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, in Room 121 Butler-Carlton Hall. This event is part of a series of events to celebrate National Poetry Month in April at S&T.
Published by Spartan Press, the book contains 55 free verse poems that include observations on nature and science. As a hiker and rock climber, Vojta loves to spend time outdoors, and the human connection to nature is a central theme of her work.
The April 10 reading is sponsored by Missouri S&T’s department of English and technical communication and by S&T’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, an international English honor society.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the reading. Porous Land is also available on Barnes&Noble and on Amazon.
