CLOSE READINGS IN A VIRTUAL SPACE: with Mark Wunderlich
This free, participatory event (taking place via Zoom) features Mark Wunderlich , one of Flow Chart’s favorite poets, leading an intimate, virtual group thinking-and-reading-through of “Young Hare” by Diane Seuss. Neither explicitly teaching nor explaining, our special guest poet will serve as your expert tour-guide to explore this featured poem as a group.
Whether already well-versed in the “close reading” of poems or having never been quite sure you’ve been “getting it,” CLOSE READINGS IN A VIRTUAL SPACE provides a digital gathering for taking a refreshing deep dive into poetry.
Actively participate or simply listen and learn!
The event will last about an hour and conclude with a brief reading of poetry by the special guest poet.
Mark Wunderlich is the author of four books of poems, the most recent of which is God of Nothingness, published by Graywolf Press. His other books include The Earth Avails, which received the Rilke Prize, Voluntary Servitude, and The Anchorage, which received the Lambda Literary Award. He has received awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the NEA, Civitella Ranieri Foundation, the Amy Lowell Trust and elsewhere, and his work has been widely anthologized. He is Executive Director of the Bennington Writing Seminars graduate writing program and lives in Catskill, New York.
