‘We Are the Community Maj Nurtured Into Speech’
The Kent State University literary community gathered on Sept. 14 under crisp blue skies to remember one of Kent's most beloved teachers, the late poet Maj Ragain.
“Maj wrote poems to, for and about this town, this home of his in Kent,” said David Hassler, director of the Wick Poetry Center in his remarks at the dedication.
“His poems gave shelter and solace and sustenance to our community, and it feels so right that we’re dedicating this poetry park today in his memory and his honor.”
The gathering resembled a reunion of sorts as Ragain’s close family, friends, colleagues and generations of his students gathered to celebrate his legacy with the dedication of the Maj Ragain Poetry Park, located just outside of the Wick Poetry Center on the Kent Campus.
Among those there to honor him were President Todd Diacon, Mandy Munro-Stasiuk, Ph.D., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Maj’s son Sean Ragain, Chris Wick of the Wick family
