Poetry Reading

posted on - February 17, 2023

Author Wesley McNair will be joining us at the library on Thursday, April 20th at 7 pm for an evening of readings from his latest work: Late Wonders: New and Selected Poems. 

“Wesley McNair has won grants from the Fulbright and Guggenheim foundations, two Rockefeller Fellowships, two NEA grants in creative writing, and an Emmy Award. He has twice been invited to read his poetry by the Library of Congress and served five times on the Pulitzer jury for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry. He was recently selected for a United States Artists Fellowship as one of America’s “finest living artists.” His collection The Lost Child: Ozark Poems, won the 2015 PEN New England Award for Literary Excellence in Poetry. McNair’s most recent book of poems is Dwellers in the House of the Lord.” – Godine.com
