...American conscience” as she awarded him the Golden Rose. The award has been presented since 1920 to the writer deemed by the NEPC to have had the greatest influence on American poetry in the past year or over a lifetime. Past recipients include Robert Frost, Seamus Heaney, Czeslaw Milosz, Adrienne Rich, and Mary Oliver. “The Golden Rose is very good luck,” said Der-Hovanessian, noting that several recipients have gone on to win Pulitzer and Nobel prizes. Ferlinghetti read first from his older and better recognized works, including the 1958 collection...
...improved throughout the year. These guys have been in our divisions in all four years I’ve been here, and it’s not fun to lose to them.” Playing in their final match for Harvard, Freese and fellow co-captain Seamus McKiernan performed well. Freese tallied five kills on .500 hitting while McKiernan led the team with 15 kills and five blocks. But the story of the night was the play of two NJIT sophomores.

It’s hard to come back two days later and play well.” With Wednesday’s loss to Hay Division opponent New Haven...
...Freese said. “We played with more passion than we had all season long.” But in the second game, everything changed. After falling behind early 3-5, the squad remained in reach of the newly energized Chargers thanks to three kills from senior captain Seamus McKiernan. Although McKiernan led the team with a game-high 23 kills on .341 hitting, his effort could not keep the Crimson from giving up a 7-1 run in the middle of the game that cost the squad. In the end Harvard hit .000 for the frame...
