Presenter Biography
Marcelene "Marci" Delcampo is a Cuban-American poet earning a B.A. in Writing & Linguistics and Spanish. She developed a knack for writing poetry in seventh grade thanks to her English/Language Arts teacher, who she credits for many of her accomplishments, such as being announced the winner of the 2020 Brittany "Ally" Harbuck Award. While at GS, Marci was also an assistant poetry editor for the campus literary magazine, Miscellany: Magazine of the Arts and a co-emcee for the department's monthly Burning Swamp readings. You can often find Marci dreaming or frequently tweeting about pugs and other fun things at @marci_delcampo.
Artist's Statement: I'm usually the person that writes way more than they should, so I'll (attempt to) make this short 'n sweet. :-)
It's crazy to think that my four years in undergrad are basically over. I honestly can't even begin to thank the W&L department enough for the extraordinary opportunities, kindness, and support it has given me. As cliché as it is to say, it's through this department that I found who I am and who I was meant to be as a writer. I will forever be grateful for not only the department, but also each and every one of the professors and staff members who helped me on this journey.
I want to give a quick shout-out to Professor Christina Olson and Professor Amanda Hedrick for mentoring me and helping me stay on track to complete my chapbook/Honor Thesis. You rock, and I'm going to miss you both so much.
In no particular order, I'd also like to thank Professors Joanna Schreiber, Ben Drevlow, Christopher Garland, Russell Willerton, Jared Yates Sexton, Carol Jamison, Michael Pemberton, and Lisa Costello, as well as my incredible advisor, Megan Bowen. Each of you has had an impact on my life in one way or another, and I am so very thankful for each of you wonderful, amazing, and caring humans.
To my peers and fellow writers in the program (you know who you are), I love each of you dearly, and I owe you all so much thanks and gratitude for your time, discussion, workshopping, and encouragement these last four years. I wish you all the best on your future endeavors.
Thank you for everything; I wouldn't be here without you.
