Called "a permanent American poet", one of the country's most eloquent
and powerful voices, Jay Wright is the author of six books of poems, and
is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Ingram Merrill Foundation
Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. "A young man, hearing me read some of
my poems," Wright has remarked, "said that I seemed to be trying to weave
together a lot of different things. My answer is that they are already
woven, I'm just trying to uncover the weave."
The symposium is free and open to the public. Registration in advance is
requested. If you are interested in attending, or would like additional
