Poetry Reading

with Award-winning poets

Award-winning poets Donald Platt and Dana Roeser will be giving a poetry reading tomorrow, September 29, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Haughey Hall 133, Physics Amphitheater. The event is free and open to the public.

Platt is the author of four collections of poetry, including "Dirt Angels" (2009, New Issues), described by Eavan Boland as "superb, wrenching reading," and "My Father Says Grace" (2007, U of Arkansas Press). Platt is a professor of English at Purdue University.

Roeser is the winner of the 2008 Morse Poetry Prize for her book In the Truth Room, which Tony Hoagland calls "a wonderful book by a fully developed and original poet," and the winner of the 2004 Morse Poetry Prize for "Beautiful Motion."
