Copper Canyon Press 50th Anniversary Reading
Thursday, October 19, 2023 7:00 PM
Lensic Performing Arts Center

Three of the most important poets writing today come together to celebrate Copper Canyon Press’s 50th anniversary. This reading by Pulitzer Prize winners and Poets Laureate testifies to poetry’s remarkable adaptability. Jorie Graham will read lyric documents recording an Earth in environmental peril. Jericho Brown will deliver innovative poetic forms that express the pain—and beauty—of Black and queer life. And Paisley Rekdal will present hybrid text-and-media works that reexamine the history of the West through the stories of the laborers who built it.
