'Drawn to the Light' Poetic Reflections on Rembrandt's Great Works

“Drawn to the Light: Poems on Rembrandt’s Religious Paintings,” English Professor Marilyn Chandler McEntyre’s second volume of poetry on the works of the great masters, was published this week by Eerdmans.
The event, featuring poets from around the West, will also include readings from Westmont, UCSB and Santa Barbara City College students.

Among the poets expected are Luis Leal and Víctor Fuentes from UCSB, Gabriella Gutiérrez from Seattle University, William Martínez from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Armando Ibáñez from Los Angeles and Armando Vallejo from Santa Barbara, said Jesús Rosales, a visiting associate professor at Westmont who organized the event.

The reading, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by the Westmont provost’s office, the modern languages department, intercultural programs and the campus Latino cultural organization.
