April is National Poetry Month and Literati’s poetry series is celebrating! Monday, April 11th at 7 pm Sarah Messer and Suzanne Wise will read some of their respective work in the Espresso Bar (the second floor space of Literati).
Sarah Messer is a professor here at the University of Michigan. Actually, she’s my poetry professor. I’m very excited to get the chance to hear her read some of her work and talk about it! Aside from explaining to students like me the effect of syntactic doubling, Messer also runs One Pause Poetry here in Ann Arbor and works on White Lotus Farms. She’s received multiple awards and has four published works, including a history/memoir “Red House”.
Suzanne Wise is the author of “The Kingdom of the Subjunctive” and “Talking Cure.” I’m currently reading “The Kingdom of the Subjunctive” (for Sarah Messer’s class) and have found it fascinating, intricate, and full of discoveries. She has taught at Middlebury College, Pratt Institute, and Poets House.
Check out the Facebook Event for more details. It’s sure to be a great night to celebrate National Poetry Month!
