Please come out and enjoy two distinct poetry events with Richard Harrison, on the Virginia Wesleyan College campus with the first events of our 2013-2014 VWC Poet-in-Residence Series:       

Wednesday, November 20th, 5:00-5:45 p.m. Poetry Reading, followed by Q&A

Richard Harrison will read poems from Hero of the Play, a book that tries to see how far the metaphors of hockey, and the sensibility of its language could go to making poems not just about the game, travel, family relationships, and male/female politics.

Neil Britton Art Gallery (enter via Hofheimer Library, 1st floor)

(event FREE to all)

Thursday, November 21th, 11:00-11:50 a.m. Poetry Craft Workshop, followed by Q&A

Richard Harrison will give a craft talk on exploring language acquisition through poetry. His book, Big Breath of a Wish, meditates on his infant daughter Emma’s speech-formative years from birth till age four.

Please come out to both events, and invite friends and family in the community, as well!
