PRESENTS James Arthur, Natalie Diaz, and Tomas Q. Morin Monday, June 10 at 7:30 PM SPC at 1719 25th Street Host: Emmanuel Sigauke James Arthur 's poems have appeared in The New Yorker , The New Republic , Poetry, and The American Poetry Review. He has received the Amy Lowell Travelling Poetry Scholarship, a Wallace Stegner Fellowship, an Amy Clampitt Residency, and a Discovery/ The Nation Prize. His first book, Charms against Lightning , is a poetic bildungsroman organized around the theme of awakening from a "ghost world" in order to journey toward a definition of selfhood. Romantic in spirit and contemporary in outlook, Arthur's poems are rhythmical, elastic, and expressive. During 2012-2013, Arthur will be a Hodder Fellow at the Lewis Center for the Arts in Princeton. Charms against Lightning will be published by Copper Canyon Press in October 2012. http://www.jamesarthurpoetry.com/ The Land of Nod ...
