Hello there!
Please come and join us for a reading with American poet, educator, painter, basketball coach, and occasional demolition man Ross Gay on Wednesday February 18th, 2015, at 7:30 in the Hammes Bookstore.
Ross Gay is the author of two collections, Against Which (CavanKerry Press, 2006), and Bringing the Shovel Down (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2011). His hard-hitting poetry deals often with urban violence, yet with a keen and vibrant complexity that explores “everything from the basketball court to conceptions of time to his father”.
He received his MFA in poetry from Sarah Lawrence College, his PhD at Temple University, and currently teaches in the MFA program at Indiana University Bloomington.
This reading is free and open to the public, and without a doubt will be a great public service. We hope to see you there!
