Todd Boss To Give Poetry Reading

The poet Todd Boss will read from his work in two appearances at Macon State College on Monday, April 2. The first reading is at 11 a.m. in the Arts Complex Theater on the Macon Campus. The second reading is at 5:30 p.m. at Walker Auditorium on the Warner Robins Campus. Both readings are free and open to the public.

Boss’s debut poetry collection, Yellowrocket, was followed by Pitch in February 2012. Boss’s poems have appeared in Poetry, The London Times, The New Yorker, The Georgia Review, and Best American Poetry. He won Virginia Quarterly Review’s Emily Clark Balch Prize in 2009. His first libretto, Panic, a verse retelling of Knut Hamsun’s Pan, will premiere this year. He is a co-founder of Motionpoems, a new initiative now developing a dozen poetry films in collaboration with Scribner’s Best American Poetry 2011. He lives in Saint Paul with his wife and children.

This event is sponsored by the Macon State Artists and Lecturers Committee and the Georgia Poetry Circuit. For more info, email sharon.colley@maconstate.edu.
