true poets and artists know where language ends, which is why they go there…
-John Yau
Poet, critic, and professor John Yau of Rutgers University will read on Wednesday, November 11th, 2015 at the Hammes Bookstore on Notre Dame’s campus. Yau’s newest collection of poems, Further Adventures in the Monochrome, presses “language to its limit—not to mention image, as he evokes the monochromatic painter Yves Klein—…and draws on art criticism and social theory to write engagingly cutting poetry” (Copper Canyon Press).
The reading begins at 7:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
