The Norco College Poetry Performance event is sponsored by the Wilfred J. Airey Library and is held during the fall and spring semesters. This event originated in 2008 from a suggestion made by English Associate Faculty and Poet, Matthew Nadelson and Professor Michael Cluff, who was Norco College’s Poet Laureate. During the event, students, faculty, classified professionals, and community members perform original or other selected poetic works to an audience utilizing an open mic format.
