Abriana Jett\u00e9 (Poetry 2012) has written a column\u00a0titled “Four Emerging Poets to Watch”<\/a> for Stay Thirsty Media, Inc.<\/a>, featuring four up-and-coming poets, three of whom are graduates of BU’s MFA program. <\/span><\/p>\n

Abriana writes, “The voices highlighted in this column vary in regards to subject, tone, and training, though Caitlin Doyle, Dariel Suarez, and Binh Nguyen happen to be alum of the M.F.A. program at Boston University, also my alma mater…while I earned my degree, I was exposed to a plethora of intellectually challenging, line-defying, beautiful poetry.” She follows with a thoughtful and thorough analysis of the varied strengths of each of these four remarkable poets.<\/p>\n
