New Poetry from Graywolf Press
Saturday, March 11, 2023
12:10 pm to 1:25 pm
Five extraordinary poets read from their collections recently published by Graywolf Press, a leading independent publisher based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wide-ranging in their form, subject matter, and career stage, these writers' recent works interrogate the responsibility and complicity of the poet as witness, explore myths both new and ancient, and discover new ways of approaching documentary, elegy, and enduring political questions of our time.
