NPR: Temple student's "poem" featured on Muses and Metaphor

NPR's series, "Tell Me More," celebrated April as National Poetry Month by broadcasting a special series called Muses and Metaphor, which featured 140-character poems that listeners posted on Twitter. A recent broadcast featured a reading by Nashay Pendleton, a doctoral student in African American Studies at Temple, who is studying socio-behavioral factors of HIV susceptibility among African-American women. Her poem: "Oh, my solitude. Your name is dissertation, growing day by day."
