May Swenson Visiting Writer
This year's May Swenson Visiting Writer is Gion Davis. Davis will read from his new book, Designated Stranger, which, the poet Diane Seuss calls an "of-the-moment but timeless Beat-style masterwork. The brilliance of these poems,” she writes, "is inseparable from their bravado and bravery, their eye for the truth and their eye for the truth of glorious details.” There will be a Q&A and book signing after the event.
