Poetry! Athens, GA

The Lanier Series hosts Alice Notley, winner of Griffin Poetry Prize (2002) for Disobedience which, in the judge’s citation, “does what only the best poetry can do in times like these, surprise, denounce, dissent.” Author of more than 20 books of poetry, Notley’s other titles include The Descent of Alette, Mysteries of Small Houses, Alice Ordered Me To Be Made, and Waltzing Matilda. Paris-based Notley was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and winner of the L.A. Times Book Award for Poetry. She edited and wrote a new introduction to her late husband Ted Berrigan's book The Sonnets. She was an important force in the second generation of the New York school of poetry. Tuesday, April 5 at 4 p.m., Park Hall 265.
