Please join us on Tuesday October 11 at 7:30pm in the Social Hall for a reading and talk with author and professor Paul Mariani. Paul Mariani is University Professor of English at Boston College. He specializes in twentieth-century American and British poetry, biography, religion and literature, and creative writing. Professor Mariani has published over 200 essays and reviews and is the author of sixteen books, including six volumes of poetry: Timing Devices, Crossing Cocytus, Prime Mover, Salvage Operations: New and Selected and The Great Wheel.
The evening will focus on Deaths & Transfigurations, a provocative collection of spiritually searching poems that develop themes of personal loss – the deaths we experience – as well as the quest for new life (“transfigurations”). Copies of the book will be available.
