Students and faculty alike gathered in the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum to attend readings by Mount Holyoke visiting lecturers T Kira Madden and Lucas de Lima, two new faculty members in the English department. The reading took place in the John and Norah Warbeke Gallery where the crowd was surrounded by works depicting landscapes in the Northeastern U.S., including “View of Mount Holyoke” by David John Gue and “Hetch Hetchy Canyon” by Albert Bierstadt. Both professors took attendees out of the surrounding Massachusetts landscape and into other cities during their readings.
