Last week, I attended a Dickinson Resident Directors\u2019 Meeting in M\u00e1laga, Spain, where the directors of several European Dickinson programs and staff from the CGSE met to engage in fruitful discussions and exchange experiences.<\/p>\n

\"Geo<\/a>

Geo reading from his poems<\/p><\/div>\n

To my surprise, this business trip brought about a completely unforeseen, coincidental reunion: Former Dickinson student Geo Nikolov \u201914 gave\u00a0a presentation at the cultural caf\u00e9 \u201cThe Shakespeare,\u201d where he was introduced by Prof. Eva Copeland, Director of the Dickinson in M\u00e1laga Program. I have known Geo since he had spent the academic year 2012\/13 in our Bremen program, and I also knew that, after his graduation in 2014, he completed a master’s degree in M\u00e1laga. But little did I know that he also wrote poetry in Spanish (and English, too) and would be back in M\u00e1laga in order to present his first book: \u201cPaseos mar\u00edtimos\u201d (Beach Promenades).<\/p>\n

\"Nikolov<\/a>

Geo Nikolov ’14<\/p><\/div>\n

One has to know that Geo is a linguistic genius, speaking 4 languages (Bulgarian, English, German, and Spanish) at native-speaker level. And if that was not extraordinary enough, here is a geology major who writes poetry and will soon go on to work at a publishing company.<\/p>\n

How nice to see a former student again in such circumstances!<\/p>\n

Proud.<\/p>\n

\n<\/em>along the water
\n<\/em>smelling as if
\n<\/em>I have been sitting in front of a fire.<\/em><\/p>\n
