Celebrating our 30th year running! Pleasures of Poetry meets this IAP 2025 in 14E-304 from 1-2 p.m. every weekday from January 6-24th, with the exception of MLK Jr. Day (Jan. 20). This popular activity – which aims to reach all those with an interest in poetry, regardless of experience level – has been offered every IAP for several decades. Each one-hour session is devoted to a poet or two, often a single poem, chosen by session leaders who volunteer to facilitate conversation for that day. Collaborative close reading is the aim and ideal of each hour. Some participants attend every session, but many others may drop in only once or twice during the series to discuss a favorite poet or poem, or to discover new favorites. The roster of poets is typically diverse — from classic Chinese poets to American poets laureate, and from such canonical figures as Shakespeare, Keats, Dickinson, and Bishop to contemporary poets including Louise Glück, Joy Harjo, Terrence Hayes, and many more. Free and open to the public; as well as staff, alumni, and students. Jan 6 Peter Perdue, TBD Jan 7 Mark Hessler, Louise Glück: TBD Jan 8 Bronwen Heuer, Three poems: Mark Strand, Robert Duncan, […]
