As an undergraduate at The College at Brockport, I interned with America Reads and Planned Parenthood. I've also worked on-campus with Career Services and Academic Advisement. With a bachelor's degree in English, I am continuing my education as a graduate student again in English. I plan to teach literature in Higher Education.

Brockport Alum to Visit Campus for a Poetry Reading


Mike Dockins,
author of Slouching in the Path of a Comet,
will be reading his work at
8:00pm in the NY Room of Cooper Hall tonight!

Since he graduated in 1999, Dockins continued his education at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst to receive his master's in English/Creative Writing in 2002. He is now working towards his doctorate at Georgia State University.

His poems are littered with scientific references - dating back to his brief stint studying Geology at SUNY Albany - and allusions to work by famous authors, such as Anne Sexton's "la la la."

Copies of his book are available at the campus book store. Buy now to get them signed by the author tonight.
