WKU Poetry Reading To Feature
Bowling Green, Ky. - Two noted poets will present a joint poetry reading on March 14 at Western Kentucky University.
WKU English professor Joe Survant, Kentucky's poet laureate for 2003-04, and Kentucky native Maurice Manning, the Yale Younger Poet series winner in 2000, will read from their works at 7 p.m. in Garrett Conference Center Auditorium (room 103). The reading will be followed by a reception and book signing. The event is free and open to the public. Survant, an Owensboro native, is the author of "Anne and Alpheus, 1842-1882," winner of the Arkansas Poetry Award; "Rafting Rise," the second in a Kentucky series; "We Will All be Changed"; and "The Presence of Snow in the Tropics." Manning, who teaches at Indiana University, is the author of "Lawrence Booth's Book of Visions," which won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award; and "A Companion for Owls," a collection of highly original narrative poems written in the voice of frontiersman Daniel Boone. The poetry reading is sponsored by the Potter College Dean's Office and the English Department's Creative Writing Committee. More WKU news is available at www.wku.edu.
