About This Event
Award-winning Patricia Corbus writes sly and funny poems about the enchanting, troubled beauty of the world and human life. Her poems spark with surprises. Award-winning Wendell Hawken invites readers to a northern Shenandoah Valley farm to marvel on the edge of the wild. She wants to fulfill poetry’s ancient role of teaching readers how to live. Award-winning Greg Rappleye describes poetry as his “profession pursued with a passion.” That skill and heart-felt drive is lyrically evident in “Barley Child,” a book that gives sarcastic voice with a touch of wit to four generations of Irish Americans.
All three poets have honed their craft in the same graduate MFA program and have multiple published collections. Rappleye also teaches English at Hope College in Michigan.
* Thanks to members and the community, the popularity of Live@Lanier Programs has grown and audiences have increasingly exceeded the comfortable capacity of 50 seats.
