We are delighted to celebrate the department administrative assistant Carlene Kucharczyk on her recent achievement—winning the Vermont Book Award for Poetry for her debut collection Strange Hymn (University of Massachusetts Press, 2025). The Vermont Book Award in Poetry is generously supported by the Norwich Bookstore, just across the river from Dartmouth.
This prestigious recognition highlights Carlene’s exceptional talent, creativity, and contribution to the literary arts. Congratulations to Carlene on this well deserved honor!
