Each term, a poet visits the college for a reading followed by a question-and-answer session. The spirit of the events is relaxed and informal. Entry is free, and the series is open to members of the university and to the public. The next reading in the series will be by Peter Gizzi.
Peter Gizzi is the author of several collections of poetry, most recently Fierce Elegy (2023) winner of the Massachusetts Book Award; Now It’s Dark (2020); and Archeophonics (2016), a finalist for the National Book Award; all from Wesleyan. In 2020 Carcanet published Sky Burial: New and Selected Poems. In 2024 Penguin UK published an expanded edition of Fierce Elegy. In 2018 Wesleyan published In the Air: Essays on the Poetry of Peter Gizzi. He is currently a Senior Global Fellow in Poetry at the University of St Andrews. He teaches poetry and poetics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
