Aging and the Arts

Join us for the next Aging and the Arts Poetry Circle featuring the work of Timothy Donnelly

Join us for a monthly poetry discussion led by The University of Arizona Poetry Center docents. This event is free, and no preparation or knowledge of poetry is necessary to participate. A reading packet will be shared. For anyone who enjoys poetry or learning more about poets in a conversational setting, this informal gathering includes many opportunities to contribute to the conversation and ask questions. It is also a great way to meet people in the community who have similar interests. The discussion will feature the work of Timothy Donnelly, who reads at the Poetry Center on October 19th at 7 pm.

Timothy Donnelly’s most recent book, Chariot, was published this year by Wave Books. His previous books include The Problem of the Many, winner of the inaugural Big Other Poetry Prize, and The Cloud Corporation, winner of the 2012 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. His poems have been widely translated and anthologized, and have appeared in such periodicals as American Poetry Review, Conjunctions, Harper’s, The Kenyon Review, The Nation, The New Republic, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Poetry, and elsewhere, as well as in the Best American Poetry and Pushcart Prize anthologies. Donnelly is a recipient of Columbia University’s Distinguished Faculty Award, the Poetry Society of America’s Alice Fay di Castagnola Award, and The Paris Review’s Bernard F. Connors Prize, as well as fellowships and residencies from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Lannan Foundation, and New York State’s Writers Institute. He teaches in the Writing Program of Columbia University School of the Arts and lives in Brooklyn with his family.

The Aging and the Arts Poetry Circle will take place in the Dorothy Rubel Room at the University of Arizona Poetry Center or in favorable weather conditions in the immediately adjacent breezeway. The event venue offers appropriate room for social distancing.

The University of Arizona Poetry Center is located at 1508 E. Helen St. Tucson, AZ 85721. Complimentary parking will be available adjacent to the building.

Please register by September 22.
