Poets to read own work on campus

April 22, 2010

Writers Diane Wakoski and Jerome Rothenberg will be reading their poetry from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Friday in the North Conference Room (W449) of the Main Library.

Wakoski has been Poet in Residence at MSU and is a University Distinguished Professor. Her book “Emerald Ice” won the Poetry Society of America’s William Carlos Williams Prize in 1989.

Anhinga Press will publish her new book, “The Diamond Dog,” this spring.

Rothenburg has published more than 80 books of poetry and 10 assemblages of traditional and contemporary poetry.
He is considered a pioneer of ethnopoetics — a combination of poetry and anthropology.

The reading is part of the Michigan Writers Series sponsored by MSU Libraries. It is free and open to the public.

Parking is available in the stadium lot on Red Cedar Road.
