Wednesday, November 16 @ 6:30 p.m.,
The New School, 66 West 12th Street, Room 510
A reading and informal discussion with James Richardson, author of seven books of poetry and two books of criticism. James Richardson’s most recent poetry books are Interglacial: New and Selected Poems and Aphorisms (Ausable Press, 2004), and Vectors: Aphorisms and Ten-Second Essays (Ausable Press, 2001).
“But for this rock, its shadow says, I could get at the sun.”
“As hard as other people are to talk to, I’m glad I don’t have to sit next to
myself.”
--James Richardson
“. . . a powerful and moving body of work that in its intimacy and philosophical naturalism is unique in contemporary American poetry.”
-- John Koethe
“Readers will be obsessed by this book; they will memorize passages, give copies to friends, proselytize. That’s because Vectors . . . is a masterpiece of practicality, beauty, and solace.”
