Jorie Graham: Poetry as contagious ceremony that might save the world (In-Person)

10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Wilton Library
Brubeck Room

Event Details

Please join us in person in the Brubeck Room for a 4-week literature seminar led by Judson Scruton, who will take us through selected works by the poet Jorie Graham. She has been called by the Poetry Foundation one of the most celebrated poets of the American post-war generation. According to poet-critic Calvin Bedient, she is “never less than in dialogue with everything. She is the world champion at shot-putting the great questions. It hardly matters what the title is: the subject itself is always ‘the outermost question being asked me by the World today.'"
