Join authors Joseph Harrington and Susan M. Schultz for an evening of poetry at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21, at Volcano Art Center’s Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.
Harrington will read from his books, “Of Some Sky, new ghost pieces,” and “Things Come On (an amneoir),” a mixed-genre work relating the twinned narratives of the Watergate scandal and his mother’s cancer.
Schultz will read from her books “The Viewpoint is Presumption,” a collection of doctored Trump tweets, and from her forthcoming book, “I Want to Write an Honest Sentence.”
The evening will be a unique opportunity to discuss poetry and hear the poets read their work as they share their powerful stories.
Harrington is the author of “Of Some Sky;” “Things Come On (an amneoir); “Goodnight Whoever’s Listening” and the critical work “Poetry and the Public.”
His creative work has appeared in BAX: Best American Experimental Writing 2016, The Rumpus, Hotel America, Tupelo Quarterly, and elsewhere.
He teaches at the University of Kansas (Lawrence).
