Being Graced by the Presence of an OCD Angel

by Reetu Sinha

This past week, our campus had the good fortune–ha ha–to be visited by the web star and spoken-word poet Neil Hilborn for a poetry slam-style showcase.

He’s most famous for his “OCD” poem, which he performed for us. Before the show, he granted some of the Editors, including myself, a workshop to help us improve both our composition and delivery. For those of you on campus, you might see the fruits of our labor at the next Open Mic Night (November 10th from 7-9). For those of you across the community, you’ll just have to take my word for it, or hit me up at the FUSE Conference this year.
