Poet William Hathaway to speak Nov. 10
Poet William Hathaway will speak and read from his works on
Monday, Nov. 10, at 8 p.m. in Arts 215.
The reading, sponsored by the College's English department,
is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
The author of seven books of poetry, most recently Sightseer
(2000), Hathaway's poems have been called “raunchy and felicitous by turns,
audacious and urbane.” As British poet and critic Charles Tomlinson noted:
“Like Woody Allen, William Hathaway takes comedy seriously, but without, like
Allen, running aground on moralizing.” And poet Albert Goldbarth observed that
“William Hathaway's poems are as compassionate, hard-hitting, and
uncompromising as any being written. It's grown-up writing for grown-up
readers, in the deepest sense.”
