Only two college students from Berkshire County were selected by the Berkshire County Historical Society as 2021-2022 Melville Fellows: Aylen Dominguez, Berkshire Community College Honors Scholar Program student, and Shawna Hennessey, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts student. Working with Writer-in-Residence Emeritus Jana Laiz at Herman Melville’s Arrowhead, the same space where Melville wrote Moby-Dick, the Fellows created new works, which will be read in public by Aylen and Shawna for the first time at this virtual event sponsored by Berkshire Community College.
