Registration required.

The Department of English and Creative Writing will host a Zoom event in honor of Professor Gary Lenhart, who died on March 31. In his 27 years at Dartmouth, Prof. Lenhart taught a wide variety of English and Writing classes to both undergrad and MALS students. Enrollment in his Contemporary American Poetry grew annually, attracting not only English and Creative Writing majors, but also many seniors whose Dartmouth careers began with his two-term Writing 2-3 course. His own work (poems, literary essays, book reviews) was published regularly, and engaged him until the very last day of his life – even as he struggled with fatal side effects of cancer treatments. The memorial reading for this much-loved professor will take place on January 13, 2022, at 6 pm on Zoom. Alumni are invited to participate by reading a poem by Professor Lenhart and/or offer their own reminiscences. Please contact Kate Gibbel in the English department at Katherine.H.Gibbel@dartmouth.edu by January 1, 2022.
