Poetry on the Patio is a noon-hour event that has been held each April since 1999 in celebration of National Poetry Month. In each of the 20 years that this event has been held, members of the St. Thomas community from all areas - staff, administrators, students, faculty - are invited to read a poem or two that they love. This has been a very popular event and provided a chance to share a love of poetry with friends and co-workers, while learning a little more about the people who work alongside us day to day.
