Read More on Mary Jo Salter
Poet Mary Jo Salter, whose 2008 collection A Phone Call to the Future: New and Selected Poems was called “deeply human, brilliantly realized and refreshingly perceptive” by BookPage, will give a reading at Bryn Mawr on Wednesday, March 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the Ely Room at Wyndham Alumnae House. A book signing will follow the reading.
A Phone Call to the Future collects new work and a substantial body of poems from her previous collections: Henry Purcell in Japan; Unfinished Painting; the 1994 National Book Critics Circle Award-nominated Sunday Skaters; A Kiss in Space; and Open Shutters, a 2003 New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Salter also has to her credit a children’s book, The Moon Comes Home, and a play, Falling Bodies, which was first produced in 2004.
