C.W. Post Student Transfers
Poetic Images to the Small Screen
When Sean Healy published some poetry in his college literary magazine
several years ago, he had no idea how many doors that achievement would
open for him. Since then, he has incorporated his poetry into many of his
studies, including his senior project in video production.
The New Hyde Park resident, who graduated from the C.W. Post Campus
of Long Island University on Sunday, May 9, was recently chosen as a finalist
in a new poets' competition, and has given poetry readings at local college
campuses. Most of his work is written in free verse, sometimes with an
internal rhyming structure. His senior project is a 10-minute video based
on four of his works, each poem reflecting the view of a different character
caught in the same conflict.
The New Hyde Park native and graduate of Chaminade High School received
a B.A. in broadcasting from C.W. Post's Department of Communication Arts.
After a visit with family in Ireland, Healy hopes to land a job as a television
scriptwriter, which would allow him to combine his love for language with
his broadcasting skills.
