Poet Sam Ace, author of three collections (most recently Stealth, with Maureen Seaton), will lead a Shop Talk on the work of C. D. Wright, who reads for the Poetry Center on September 13. Wright has received numerous honors, including the MacArthur Fellowship, a Lannan Literary Award, and the Robert Creeley Award, for her shifting and densely conscious body of work.
This Shop talk is in advance of a reading by C.D. Wright at the Poetry Center on September 13 at 7 p.m.
Shop Talks take a "round table" approach to scholarly investigation of poetic works, resulting in a collegial atmosphere. Each Shop Talk begins with a mini-lecture on the featured author, followed by a conversation about the author and the work. A study packet containing biographical information, excerpts, and criticism is made available for each event, and no advance knowledge of the poet or works discussed is required. All discussions take place at 6:00 pm around the Persian rug in the Dorothy Rubel Room. For more information, email Wendy Burk at wlburk@email.arizona.edu.
