Poetry Reading.. . . . . .

Just recently our campus had the pleasure of hosting three rather well talented poets, from the great old city of New York.  They provided a very introspective view on life from their standpoints and from their lives.
This showed me some of the problems of the world as seen through the eyes of another person, a person with a different outlook on life, and other experience.
This brought some new perspective to some of the other students in my class, as they had either never left this region, a rather well sheltered area, or had never been to the same places as the poets.  It brought into perspective the views of other religions, sexual orientations, and races.  Something that this area doesn't see a lot of.
This gave me a new outlook on the local community and how more diversified it could be.  It is a well sheltered region and besides the tourists, doesn't see much of otherworldly problems affecting it.  It would do with a more diversified community.
