Read More on Gerald Stern
Gerald Stern will read on Wednesday, February 11, at 7:30 p.m.in the
Ely Room of Wyndham at BMC.
Gerald Stern is the author of 16 books of poems, including Everything is Burning, American Sonnets, and Last Blue, and a book of essays, What I Can’t Bear Losing: Notes From a Life. The Southern Review declared, "We might like to think of Gerald Stern as our quintessentially Whitmanian American poet, but he is far too literate, too worldly, to seem typically American." Poet Edward Hirsch remarked, "Gerald Stern is a romantic with a sense of humor, an Orphic voice living inside history, a sometimes comic, sometimes tragic visionary." Reading sponsored by an anonymous gift and the Marianne Moore Fund for the Study of Poetry.
