Angel Rosen, a Butler County Community College alumna, will return to BC3 Wednesday to read from her books “Aurelia” and “Blake” during the college’s second Northern Appalachia Reading Series event.

The Armstrong County poet, who earned an associate degree in general studies from BC3 in 2014, will read poems titled “Cherries,” “Anchor,” “The Ides of Endometriosis” and others at 6 p.m. in the Heaton Family Learning Commons on BC3’s main campus.

Rosen, 28, of Worthington, is a 2012 graduate of the former Kittanning Area High School. She has participated in poetry readings elsewhere on BC3’s main campus and at the Butler Art Center, and in open-mic events in Pittsburgh.

The Northern Appalachia Reading Series event is free and open to the public. It will include an open-mic session at 5:30 p.m. before Rosen’s reading; and questions and answers, signings of her self-published books and light refreshments afterward.

Rosen’s public reading will be the fifth since 2018 in the Heaton Family Learning Commons.

Visitors can reserve a spot the evening of the event or contact Mike Dittman, a professor in BC3’s liberal arts division, at mike.dittman@bc3.edu or (724) 287-8711 Ext. 8251.

BC3 plans to host a third Northern Appalachia Reading Series event at the Heaton Family Learning Commons in the fall.
