"[Poetry is] based in a craving to get ... into the larger, wilder space of things as they are becoming" - "The Poet as Antispecialist"

Honoring the legacy of May Swenson, USU’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences re-developed the site of Swenson’s original childhood home to create a gathering place that will enhance the creative arts. The new park aims to build bridges between the campus and nearby Logan neighborhoods, as well as foster understanding among diverse communities of thought.

May Swenson gained international success and acclaim as a progressive thinker who forged her own way, but as it is clear from her work, her family and Cache Valley roots were sincerely important to her as well.
