What an Odyssey this year has been for all of us! Because of this arduous journey, our 2021 conference will acknowledge the remote and virtual challenges that we have all faced. Every aspect of our already-complicated work has been made even more complex; we continue to confront obstacles as we fight to preserve academic standards and rigor, even in the face of a global pandemic.
As we traverse the road before us, it is more important than ever to reconnect with our TYCA-NE family to share how we have adapted, grown, and changed to meet the demands of this new frontier.
Boldly exploring our theme, “2021: An Educational Odyssey,” we look forward to sharing pedagogical, creative, and innovative ideas among colleagues at two-year colleges across our Northeast region.

Speaker
Carolyn Forché’s first volume, Gathering the Tribes, winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize, was followed by The Country Between Us, The Angel of History, and Blue Hour. Her most recent collection is In the Lateness of the World. She is also the author of the memoir What You Have Heard Is True (Penguin Random House, 2019), a devastating, lyrical, and visionary memoir about a young woman’s brave choice to engage with horror in order to help others, which was nominated for the 2019 National Book Awards. She has translated Mahmoud Darwish, Claribel Alegria, and Robert Desnos. Her famed international anthology, Against Forgetting, has been praised by Nelson Mandela as “itself a blow against tyranny, against prejudice, against injustice,” and is followed by the 2014 anthology The Poetry of Witness. In 1998 in Stockholm, she received the Edita and Ira Morris Hiroshima Foundation for Peace and Culture Award for her human rights advocacy and the preservation of memory and culture
