GS Class of 1979

Kathleen Hirsch ’79 AM writes: “I’m thrilled to announce the publication of my first book of poems, Mending Prayer Rugs—a milestone in a long life of publications—at the age of 71. The debut of this book, which treats the topic of social healing through the action of women over time and geographies, is more timely than I could have imagined. When I was a student in the writing program studying under John Hawkes and Verlin Cassill, I worked for the Athletic Association as a writer and moonlighted a bit for BAM. My brother, Matthew Hirsch ’84, saw the early days of the Watson Institute and worked directly with Tom Watson. We have deep roots in the Brown experience and extended community.”
