Debut Poetry Collection from Viral Poet Patrick Roche '14

A Socially Acceptable Breakdown is the debut full-length collection from poet and performer Patrick Roche '14. The poems pull from personal narrative to craft a journey of coping with and processing anything that may not be socially acceptable—mental health, grief, sexuality, body image, and more—and learning how to dismantle any stigma facing us in order to create our own joy and hope, all while exploring these themes through lenses of pop culture, memory, myth, and magic.

We need your help to broaden the number of alumni Princeternship hosts in the arts!

Princeternship is a career exploration program for undergraduate students centered on work exposure in fields of interest with alumni. In Princeternship, alumni create and host opportunities for students that integrate job shadowing, skill development and relationship-building in one-on-one or small-group settings.

Princeternships occur over students’ winter break (late December through January) and can be an in-person experience for one to five days or a virtual experience for one to four weeks.

We need your help to broaden the number of alumni hosts in the arts! All you would give is a bit of your time to have a deep impact on a fellow Tiger’s future. Reach out to Micaela Ensminger Ortiz at micaelae@princeton.edu for more information!
