This place is wall-to-wall readings. I'm not even kidding. There are at least four readings every day. Sometimes more. There are some big-name authors -- Edward P. Jones, Edward Hirsch, Louise Glück, Charles Baxter, et al -- but there are also up-and-comers.
Two of the up-and-comer poets who interested me were Darcie Dennigan and Amaud Jamaul Johnson. I've bought their books and will bring them back to school for you to borrow if you're interested. And guess what: One of 'em writes poems that make sense and one of 'em writes the other kind!
Actually, what makes them both good is that, while they both have their predispositions (I'll let you decide which is which), they both also dip their figurative toe in the water of the "other kind" of poem.
