Angela enjoys spending time in Bread Loaf’s Printer’s Cabin, which holds several letterpresses for students to explore the artistry of type and book craft. Often, students set their type outside on the cabin porch before heading inside to run the presses.
Here, Angela sets the type for a poetry printing project. After her time in the cabin, she might take a walk to a nearby creek that is a favorite swimming hole for Bread Loafers. She also likes to head down the mountain with her friends for a popular Vermont tradition: creemees.
Angela also spends time outside of class working in the Bread Loaf library.
Angela’s two courses for this summer are Poetry of Hope and Humanity and Cervantes’ Don Quixote.
Each summer, Bread Loaf holds a special picnic at the Robert Frost farm adjacent to campus and opens up the cabin Frost used as his writing studio. Here, Angela joins other students to tour the space that inspired a literary legend with strong ties to Middlebury and Bread Loaf.

Angela shares during a small-group discussion in a weekly BLTN meeting. As a BLTN fellow, Angela has partnered with other fellows on several projects, including a collaboration on a book-binding and paper making project that Angela incorporated into a week-long, interdisciplinary project at her school. She has also presented “The People Can Fly:An Exploration of Black American Mythology, Folklore, and Oral Literature in Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon” at the National Council of Teachers of English annual conference.
Each week, Angela joins in evening discussions with the Student of Color club, in which both students and faculty participate. On weekends, Angela enjoys participating in weekly hiking excursions led by Bread Loaf staff.
