Cherokee High School senior Sara Tramper performed Sherman Alexie’s “The Powwow at the End of the World,” Hart Crane’s “My Grandmother’s Love Letters” and Gwendolyn Brooks’ “A Song in the Front Yard” during her Poetry Out Loud presentation at Southwestern Community College Thursday, April 3. Sponsored by SCC’s Native American Society, the event was held on the Jackson Campus. Tramper, who was the runner up in North Carolina’s Poetry Out Loud Competition, met informally with students, faculty and staff following her performance. “The way she dramatized The Powwow at the End of the World moved us to tears. We’re so proud she is one of our Upward Bound students,” said Upward Bound academic advisors Erica Muse, center, and Cheryl Renfro, right.
