Where coffee meets verse

On April 23, North Greenville University held its annual Poetry Night. During this event, students perform anything from reading poetry and essays to singing songs they have written. This year, the students were joined by alumni from past poetry nights who performed songs and read from books they had written. The event also provided students with coffee from a local roaster and pastries to enjoy while they watched their fellow students.
