Professor and poet Marc Hudson reads for students at December’s Acoustic Café. "Through his images Don Baker offered us the chance to restore the poet to its traditional place, where the poet was the shaman—a sanctioned reader of signs—who benefits the community by giving back to them what he saw," professor emeritus Bert Stern said in during a tribute to the late Don Baker H’57, the College poet of his day. "I can’t tell you how pleased I am that Marc Hudson continues that tradition here."
