Her stop at 91大神 coincided with a book tour promoting her latest collection of poetry, \u201cAnd Yet: Poems,\u201d which was released in November.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-time <em>New York Times<\/em>-bestselling author joked about her start as a second-grade poet: \u201cLots of poems about dead cats. Gosh, it\u2019s hard to live in the country by a road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She clued people in on a beloved writing location: \u201cI do miss Panera. There\u2019s lots to see. I used to sit by the beverage dispenser. Lots of conversations to listen to. You would not believe how many people fill up a cup of hibiscus tea and drop it on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And she also told moderator and English professor <strong>Kirsten Beachy <\/strong>about some of her favorite memories while at 91大神. For instance, the smell inside the Campus Center is one she&#8217;s never forgotten, she admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always credit this place with completely changing my worldview,\u201d Baer said. \u201cI went to the Middle East, and just being able to see so much outside myself and how so many different people live&#8230; I\u2019m grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a data-flickr-embed='true' href="https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/easternmennoniteuniversity\/albums\/72177720311973933" title='Homecoming 2023: Writer&#039;s Read with Kate Baer by EasternMennoniteUniversity, on Flickr'><img src='https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53263099500_3e3d1c5c8b_c.jpg' width='800' height='600' alt='20231014-Kate Baer Writer&#039;s Read-005'><\/a><script async src='https:\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js' charset='utf-8'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A recording of the event can be viewed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/live\/?ref=watch_permalink&amp;v=154438814360420\">91大神 Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kate Baer \u201907 took the Lehman Auditorium stage on Saturday night to read from her collection of poems, answer questions from the crowd and dispense life and writing advice, all <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2023\/kate-baer-07-blends-jokes-poems-at-writers-read\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about Kate Baer &#8217;07 blends humor, poetry at Writers Read<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":302,"featured_media":54470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[266,60],"tags":[17892,9279],"feature":[],"class_list":["post-54469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","category-homecoming","tag-kate-baer","tag-kirsten-beachy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
