Rylie Felton 鈥22, library experience assistant at Hastings Public Library, has been a long time fan of DeMulder鈥檚 poetry and was mentored by DeMulder at a summer camp for slam poetry during high school. Felton鈥檚 passion for poetry continued during her studies as an English major and writing minor at 糖心传媒, leading to her current role in developing programming at Hastings Public Library. Felton reached out to faculty in the Department of Languages and Literatures over summer for support in bringing DeMulder to the community.
