All branches of the RPL will be closed this Good Friday, April 2nd, but the First Friday festivities WILL go on as scheduled at the Main Public Library from 7-9 p.m. And this Friday, we have a fantastic line-up of artists and lecturers.
To kick off National Poetry Month, we have the pleasure of hosting the 2010 Brodie Herndon Poetry lecture, starting at 7 p.m. in the Davenport Special Collections room on the lower level of the library.
The 2010 speaker for the lecture is Kathleen Graber, author of Correspondence, and winner of the 2005 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize. You can read a commentary by Kathleen about her book here.
A recipient of the Hodder Fellowship at Princeton (2007) and the Amy Lowell Travelling Scholarship (2008), Ms. Graber is an assistant professor of English in the Creative Writing Program at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her second collection of poetry, The Eternal City, is forthcoming.
