Our Next Event: Greg Rappleye, poet

Mark your calendars for Thursday, Feb. 28 at 7:00 pm. The poet Greg Rappleye will be reading from his latest book, Figured Dark, in the third floor lounge of Wiekamp Hall.

A blurb from the U. of Arkansas press: "The voices in Greg Rappleye's Figured Dark call across a vast landscape of myth, memory, and horrific wreckage. He is a poet who refuses easy categories. These poems are by turns wise, elegiac, ironic, and wickedly funny. Here are dreamy raptors, dome-lighted Firebirds, flaming bodies, junk cars, deadly archangels, the musician Brian Wilson, and a young John Berryman."
